Product description

Regulated deployments often require multi-year service contracts covering the full span of a hardware asset’s lifecycle. FC-10-S424P-301-02-36 provides 3-year Secure RMA for the FortiSwitch 424E-POE: when a hardware failure is confirmed, Fortinet ships a replacement and the failed switch remains under your custody for compliant, on-site disposal across a 3-year contract period.

What Secure RMA Covers

Secure RMA (-301-) removes the standard obligation to return the failed unit to Fortinet. When FortiSwitch 424E-POE hardware fails and is confirmed by TAC, a replacement unit ships. Under this contract, the failed device stays on your premises for secure, auditable decommissioning under your organization’s data handling policy. FortiCare Premium or Elite must be active on the device. The 3-year term applies this entitlement from registration date through year three.

Three-Year Contract Planning

A 3-year contract is a common choice for organizations whose compliance cycles and IT procurement timelines run on 3-year intervals. Buying a 3-year Secure RMA contract at the time of hardware purchase avoids coverage gaps during the first annual renewal and reduces administrative overhead. It is cost-effective relative to renewing a 1-year contract three times, and locks in the compliance-grade return waiver for the full 3-year period.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-S424P-301-02-36 is an electronic license. DataCenter360.ca delivers the contract key to any country within 0-1 business days. Register it in the FortiCare Support Portal against the FortiSwitch 424E-POE serial number. Coverage begins on the registration date and runs for 3 years. Hardware dispatch occurs only on a Fortinet-confirmed failure — no hardware ships at the time of license purchase.

How Secure RMA Fits the RMA Stack

FortiSwitch 424E-POE RMA options span speed and compliance. The -210- (Next Calendar Day), -211- (4-Hour Hardware Delivery), and -212- (4-Hour Hardware and On-Site) tiers all require the failed unit be returned to Fortinet but provide faster replacement dispatch. The -301- Secure RMA tier addresses chain-of-custody requirements without accelerating delivery — the replacement ships on the standard RMA timeline. It is a compliance tier, not a speed tier.

FortiCare Support Tiers and RMA Options

Secure RMA requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base support tier. The table below shows how the three FortiCare tiers compare for the FortiSwitch 424E-POE, including RMA type and Priority RMA eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Secure RMA different from standard RMA?

Under standard RMA, the failed FortiSwitch 424E-POE must be returned to Fortinet. Under Secure RMA (-301-), the failed unit stays at your site. Fortinet ships a replacement but waives the return requirement so you can decommission the hardware on-site under your organization’s data handling procedures.

How fast does the replacement ship under Secure RMA?

Secure RMA uses the standard RMA delivery timeline — it is not a Priority RMA service. If you need faster dispatch (next calendar day or 4-hour), the -210- and -211- tiers are the appropriate options, though those require returning the failed unit.

Does this contract require FortiCare Premium?

Yes. FC-10-S424P-301-02-36 requires FortiCare Premium or Elite to be active on the FortiSwitch 424E-POE at the time a Secure RMA case is opened.

When does the 3-year term start?

The term starts on the date you register the contract in the FortiCare portal using the FortiSwitch 424E-POE serial number. Register promptly after purchase to maximize coverage.

Is this license available for purchase outside Canada?

Yes. FC-10-S424P-301-02-36 is a Fortinet software license and DataCenter360.ca delivers it electronically to any country within 0-1 business days. Customers worldwide can order directly from our store.
