Fortinet FortiManager 3100G Secure RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-FM31G-301-02-60)

For organizations with long-running compliance programs, managing hardware disposal controls on an annual renewal basis introduces unnecessary administrative overhead and audit risk. The 5-year Secure RMA service for the FortiManager 3100G covers the full planned operational life of the appliance in a single entitlement, keeping the chain-of-custody destruction protocol active and documented without requiring multiple renewal decisions over the device’s service life.

Overview

Fortinet Secure RMA (service code 301) extends the FortiManager 3100G’s hardware replacement process with a documented, compliant chain-of-custody protocol. When a unit is returned under an RMA event, Fortinet handles the failed appliance through certified destruction rather than standard depot processing. The 5-year term provides the longest available coverage window, ensuring no gap in the secure disposal control across the appliance’s full lifecycle. The comparison below shows how Secure RMA positions within Fortinet’s FortiCare offering.

Who it suits

The 5-year term is appropriate for regulated enterprises that plan to operate the FortiManager 3100G across the full hardware lifecycle and need secure disposal coverage to remain active without interruption. Government agencies, defense contractors, financial institutions, and healthcare organizations subject to long-term data-security mandates are the primary audience. Because the FortiManager 3100G holds enterprise-wide network management data throughout its service life, a long-term Secure RMA commitment ensures that any hardware failure at any point in the lifecycle is handled through a documented, auditable process with no coverage gap.
