Authorized Partner for United States (US)For compliance teams managing a FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE through a multi-year deployment, annual Secure RMA renewals create unnecessary overhead. FC-10-M426E-301-02-36 covers 3 years in a single contract: hardware failure triggers an advance replacement, and the returned unit is processed through Fortinet’s certified secure destruction workflow before disposal — with a certificate issued for each event.
Over the 3-year term, FC-10-M426E-301-02-36 provides:
Regulated environments that depreciate hardware on a 3-year cycle get the most value from aligning the support contract to the asset lifecycle. Procurement teams avoid the overhead of annual Secure RMA renewal, compliance documentation stays cleaner with one policy per device, and IT isn’t tracking multiple expiry dates across a fleet of switches. A single multi-year contract simplifies audit preparation considerably.
FC-10-M426E-301-02-36 is delivered electronically within 0–1 business days. Register the license key in the Fortinet Support portal using the FS-M426E-FPOE serial number to activate. The 3-year coverage window begins at registration.

Yes. Secure RMA (301) and Priority RMA add-ons (210/211/212) are compatible on the same device. Priority RMA governs response speed; Secure RMA governs the disposition of the returned unit. Combining both covers urgency and data-security disposal requirements simultaneously.
The process starts identically: contact Fortinet TAC with a hardware failure. TAC confirms the issue and initiates the RMA. The difference is on the back end — when the failed unit arrives at Fortinet, it goes through the certified-destruction process rather than standard refurbishment.
No. Fortinet service contracts do not auto-renew. You’ll receive reminder notices as the contract approaches expiry. Plan the next term purchase before the current one lapses to avoid any gap in Secure RMA coverage.
Yes. Each time a unit is returned and destroyed under Secure RMA, Fortinet issues a certificate of destruction tied to that specific serial number and event. Retain these certificates for compliance records and audits.
Fortinet’s Secure RMA availability may vary by region. If standard on-site destruction logistics are unavailable locally, Fortinet will coordinate an alternative approach. Confirm regional availability with Fortinet Support if your site is in a remote area before purchasing.
