Authorized Partner for United States (US)For teams running the FortiSwitch 448E-FPOE in regulated environments — government, healthcare, finance, or PCI-scoped segments — hardware replacement carries a requirement that goes beyond speed. Secure RMA (FC-10-S448F-301-02-12) pairs a certified replacement with controlled media handling, so failed drives or storage never leave the chain of custody unaccounted for.
The 1-year Secure RMA contract for the FS-448E-FPOE provides a Fortinet-certified replacement switch dispatched using secure logistics, complete with documented chain of custody. If storage media is involved, Fortinet’s Secure RMA process covers certified destruction or return under controlled procedures. This contract applies to a single registered serial number and requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription to activate.

Secure RMA fits organizations where hardware disposal or transport must satisfy regulatory mandates: federal agencies, healthcare networks under HIPAA, or PCI-DSS environments where media containment is audited. If your access-layer switch holds logs or cached credentials and you need documented accountability for every piece of hardware that leaves your rack, Secure RMA is the correct tier.

Yes. Priority RMA add-ons for FortiSwitch require an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the same device. FortiCare Essential does not include Priority RMA eligibility. If you are ordering both, DataCenter360.ca can help confirm the correct pairing.
DataCenter360.ca processes your order and registers the service contract electronically with Fortinet. You receive confirmation and activation details within one business day. There is no region lock on the contract — the RMA depot fulfillment follows Fortinet’s global service network, covering deployments in Canada, the US, Europe, and beyond.
Yes. Priority RMA add-ons apply to FortiSwitch units already under an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. Provide your unit’s serial number at checkout, and the contract is registered against that device. If your current FortiCare plan is Essential, you must upgrade to Premium or Elite first to activate this Priority RMA tier.
Priority RMA coverage lapses when the contract expires. DataCenter360.ca will notify you before expiry so you can renew without a gap in coverage. Renewing before expiry maintains continuous service history with Fortinet and avoids requalification delays. Reach out to [email protected] to plan your renewal.
