Fortinet FortiWiFi 50G-SFP Secure RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-WS50G-301-02-60)

Regulated environments need hardware replacement handled under documented, auditable procedures, and the FC-10-WS50G-301-02-60 delivers exactly that. Five years of Secure RMA ensures that when a FortiWiFi 50G-SFP fails, a certified technician performs on-site data destruction before the device ever leaves the facility. The destruction certificate satisfies compliance requirements under HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and government security frameworks. Requires FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device.

What Secure RMA Covers

The FC-10-WS50G-301-02-60 provides 60 months of Secure RMA for the registered FortiWiFi 50G-SFP serial number. When Fortinet support confirms a hardware failure, a trained technician arrives on-site to sanitize storage media using DoD 5220.22-M compliant methods. A data destruction certificate is provided for compliance records before the failed unit is removed. A replacement FortiWiFi 50G-SFP is dispatched separately, and local staff restore operations from configuration backup.

Secure RMA is a FortiCare add-on. The table below shows the FortiCare tier requirements and how Priority RMA add-ons compare:

Who Needs Secure RMA

Secure RMA is designed for environments where data residency and chain-of-custody requirements apply to hardware, not just software. Healthcare networks handling PHI, payment card environments under PCI-DSS, government installations, and financial institutions all have documented obligations around how decommissioned or failed network hardware is handled. A standard advanced replacement ships the failed unit back to Fortinet without any formal on-site data destruction step. Secure RMA removes that gap.

Five-year coverage aligns with longer compliance program cycles and removes the overhead of annual or three-year renewals for a device expected to stay in service through a full operational term.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the FC-10-WS50G-301-02-60 license key electronically after purchase, normally the same business day. Register the key against the FortiWiFi 50G-SFP serial number in the Fortinet support portal to activate the 60-month Secure RMA entitlement. Keep the data destruction certificate from each service event on file as part of your compliance documentation package.

Secure RMA vs. Other Priority RMA Options

The -212- series (4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer) provides an on-site Fortinet engineer and replacement hardware without the formal data destruction step. The -210- series (Next Calendar Day Priority RMA) ships replacement hardware overnight without on-site work or documented destruction. Secure RMA (-301-) is the right choice when regulatory or contractual requirements mandate documented destruction before a failed device leaves the premises. For the 1-year and 3-year term options on the same service, see FC-10-WS50G-301-02-12 and FC-10-WS50G-301-02-36.
