Fortinet FortiSwitch 124G-FPOE Secure RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-S24GF-301-02-60)

A five-year Secure RMA plan (FC-10-S24GF-301-02-60) gives the FortiSwitch 124G-FPOE long-horizon hardware protection without the return shipment. Fortinet sends a replacement and you keep the failed unit on site, year after year, for in-house handling or destruction.

What this RMA contract covers

Secure RMA for the FortiSwitch 124G-FPOE provides advance hardware replacement with one difference that matters to security and compliance teams: you keep the failed unit. Fortinet ships a replacement switch and waives the usual return of the defective hardware, so a device that lived inside your network never leaves your control.

It is a non-return add-on layered on an active FortiCare contract for the same switch. The base contract supplies firmware, technical support, and the advance-replacement entitlement; Secure RMA changes the disposition of the old hardware so your team retains, wipes, or destroys it in house.

Secure RMA is an add-on to a base FortiCare contract, not a standalone tier. The table shows the standard FortiCare RMA and support levels this device can carry, for context on the coverage Secure RMA sits on top of:

Who needs it

Secure RMA is for environments where returning hardware is a problem: government, defense, finance, healthcare, and any site with chain-of-custody or asset-destruction rules. If your security policy says network gear cannot be shipped back to a vendor once deployed, this contract keeps you compliant while still giving you fast replacement.

Activation and delivery

This is a license, not a physical product. Once you order, the contract is registered to your switch serial number and the confirmation is delivered electronically, typically within the same business day and to any country. Coverage runs for the 5-year term from the activation or hardware start date.

How it fits with your FortiCare coverage

Secure RMA does not stand alone. It rides on an active FortiCare contract for the FortiSwitch 124G-FPOE, which provides the support and replacement entitlement; this line removes the return requirement. If the switch is not yet under FortiCare, add a base contract alongside FC-10-S24GF-301-02-60 so the coverage is complete.
