United States (US) Authorized DistributorLocking in 5 years of Secure RMA coverage at purchase is the approach most compliance-driven organizations take when deploying the FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE for the long term. FC-10-M426E-301-02-60 covers the full 5-year span: any hardware failure during that window triggers an advance replacement, and the failed unit comes back to Fortinet for certified data destruction before disposal — with a certificate issued for your records.
FC-10-M426E-301-02-60 provides 5 years of Secure RMA service for the registered FS-M426E-FPOE switch:
For networks where FortiSwitch hardware runs through extended refresh cycles — government, enterprise campus cores, long-depreciation environments — a 5-year Secure RMA contract eliminates four renewal events and the accompanying compliance paperwork. The destruction certificate policy stays consistent across the entire device lifetime, and IT teams aren’t managing staggered expiry dates in large switch fleets. Procurement simplicity and auditability both improve with one long-term contract.
This service is a digital license delivered electronically within 0–1 business days of purchase. Register the key in the Fortinet Support portal against the FS-M426E-FPOE serial number to activate. The 5-year term begins at registration.

Fortinet’s 5-year contract pricing typically results in a lower per-year cost than purchasing five consecutive 1-year contracts. The exact difference varies with current pricing — contact DataCenter360.ca for a side-by-side comparison before committing.
Fortinet’s certificate documents the serial number, destruction method, and event date. Whether it satisfies a specific audit framework (FedRAMP, NIST 800-88, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.) depends on your auditor’s requirements. Most regulated organizations find Fortinet’s certificates meet standard documentation needs, but confirm with your compliance team.
Enrollment windows vary by product age and condition. Fortinet may require verification that the unit is still operational before accepting a new Secure RMA contract. Contact DataCenter360.ca or Fortinet Support with the device serial number to confirm eligibility.
No stated annual cap on incidents applies. Secure RMA can be initiated each time a hardware failure is confirmed by Fortinet TAC during the 5-year term. Repeated failures on the same unit may prompt a hardware review by Fortinet’s engineering team.
Replacement units carry Fortinet’s standard hardware warranty for the new device. The Secure RMA service contract governs the support process and destruction of the returned unit; the hardware warranty on the replacement is a separate entitlement covering manufacturing defects.
