Fortinet FortiSwitch 110G-FPOE Secure RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-M10GF-301-02-12)

Some FortiSwitch 110G-FPOE units sit where the data on the device cannot leave the building, even after the hardware fails. FC-10-M10GF-301-02-12 is built for that situation: a one year Secure RMA that delivers a replacement switch while letting your team retain and destroy the failed unit in place, so a defective switch never has to be returned to Fortinet.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-M10GF-301-02-12 is a Secure RMA service for the FortiSwitch 110G-FPOE, designed for environments with strict requirements for protecting data inside their physical premises. Under a standard RMA, a faulty unit is returned to Fortinet; Secure RMA lets your organization keep the defective switch and dispose of it under your own security policy, so device data never leaves your site. Fortinet still ships a replacement FortiSwitch 110G-FPOE under the advanced-replacement terms of your FortiCare contract.

Coverage runs for one year from activation, is registered to a specific FortiSwitch 110G-FPOE serial number, and requires an active FortiCare contract on the device.

Who Needs Secure RMA

Secure RMA is aimed at regulated and security-sensitive environments where returning failed hardware is not acceptable: government, defense, finance, healthcare, and any site with data-residency or chain-of-custody rules. For a FortiSwitch 110G-FPOE in those settings, the ability to retain and destroy the failed unit in place removes the compliance problem of shipping a device, while still giving you a fast advanced replacement.

FortiCare Tiers and RMA Eligibility

Priority RMA and Secure RMA are add-ons to your FortiCare per-device support contract, not standalone services. Only FortiCare Premium and FortiCare Elite contracts are eligible for Priority RMA add-ons; Essential-tier contracts are not. The table below summarizes hardware support and response levels across the tiers:

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the FC-10-M10GF-301-02-12 license electronically, usually within one business day of payment, with no physical shipment. Activate it in the Fortinet support portal at support.fortinet.com by registering it against your FortiSwitch 110G-FPOE serial number. Coverage starts once activation is confirmed, and the matching FortiCare contract on the same switch must stay active for the service to apply.

Secure RMA and the Delivery Tiers

Secure RMA (-301-) addresses a different need than the delivery-speed tiers. Where Next Calendar Day (-210-), 4-Hour Delivery (-211-), and 4-Hour Delivery with On-Site Engineer (-212-) all change how fast a replacement arrives, Secure RMA changes what happens to the failed unit: you keep and destroy it instead of returning it. Sites that need both speed and data protection can pair Secure RMA with a delivery tier; on its own, this contract is the right pick when retaining the hardware matters more than shaving hours off delivery.
