Product description

A three-year Secure RMA contract for the FortiSwitch 148F means that over the life of your deployment, any hardware failure is handled with a keep-and-replace process. Fortinet ships the replacement directly; the original unit never leaves your controlled environment. For organizations managing regulated or sensitive traffic on their switching layer, that distinction matters across the entire coverage period.

What the 3-Year Secure RMA covers

Service code 301 provides keep-and-replace hardware coverage for the FS-148F. When a unit fails, you open a case with Fortinet Support, a replacement is dispatched to your site, and the original stays at your location. No return shipment is required. This three-year term runs from the activation date and is registered to the FS-148F serial number in your Fortinet Support portal account.

Secure RMA is an add-on to FortiCare Premium or Elite. Both contracts must be active on the same device serial number for the service to be invocable.

Who benefits from a 3-Year Secure RMA term

Organizations that plan their network infrastructure on multi-year cycles benefit from aligning the service contract term to the hardware deployment window. A three-year Secure RMA purchased at deployment avoids the administrative overhead of annual renewals and ensures continuous coverage without a lapse between terms.

Government departments, regulated financial environments, and healthcare networks that operate under continuous compliance requirements are typical buyers: they need verifiable, uninterrupted RMA coverage across the full deployment period of every device in their inventory.

Activation and delivery

This is an electronic service contract with no physical media. After purchase through DataCenter360.ca, you receive a registration key by email. Enter it in the Fortinet Support portal (support.fortinet.com) and associate it with the FS-148F serial number. Activation is immediate, and the three-year coverage period begins from that date.

What does a 3-Year Secure RMA term mean operationally?

It means that for the entire three-year period, any qualifying hardware failure on the registered FS-148F can be resolved with a keep-and-replace RMA case. You do not need to renew annually, and coverage does not lapse between contract years. The term is tied to the device serial number, not to a calendar year.

Does Secure RMA require an active FortiCare contract?

Yes. Secure RMA (service code 301) is an add-on to FortiCare Premium or Elite. You need an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same FS-148F serial number. FortiCare Essential does not qualify. DataCenter360.ca can supply both contracts if you need them together.

What happens to the failed unit under Secure RMA?

You keep it. Fortinet does not require the return of the failed device. Your organization handles disposal or storage of the defective unit according to its own data handling and security policies. The replacement unit is functional and registered to your account once Fortinet ships it.

Can the 3-Year term be purchased after initial hardware deployment?

Yes, provided the device still has an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. The Secure RMA add-on can be applied mid-lifecycle. If your FortiCare has lapsed, it needs to be renewed first. DataCenter360.ca can check the current support status for your serial number and help sequence the orders correctly.

Is this available for purchase outside Canada?

Yes. DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner and delivers this service contract electronically to any country. The contract key is sent by email; hardware replacement logistics are handled through Fortinet’s global RMA network.
