Authorized Partner for United States (US)Regulatory frameworks in healthcare, government contracting, and financial services often require more than fast hardware replacement. They require a paper trail. FC-10-T1E24-301-02-12 provides 1-year Secure RMA for the FortiSwitch-T1024E — an RMA tier that adds documented chain-of-custody procedures to the standard advance-replacement process, so there’s an auditable record of what happened to the failed device.
FC-10-T1E24-301-02-12 provides Secure RMA for the registered FS-T1024E for 1 year:
Secure RMA is not about faster delivery — it addresses the compliance question of what happens to the old hardware. Delivery timing follows standard advance-replacement lead times for your region.
Secure RMA serves organizations where network hardware disposal is subject to regulatory or contractual requirements. Government networks under FISMA or NIST SP 800-88 guidelines, healthcare organizations under HIPAA, financial institutions under PCI DSS data sanitization requirements, and contractors under ITAR or CUI handling obligations are the primary buyers. If your compliance program requires proof that a failed campus core switch was securely destroyed rather than simply returned, Secure RMA provides that documentation.
This is an electronic license contract. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key within 0-1 business days. Register it in the Fortinet Support portal at support.fortinet.com using the FS-T1024E serial number. The 1-year coverage period starts on the registration date. When a hardware failure occurs, open a TAC case — once the failure is confirmed, Fortinet initiates the Secure RMA process.
Standard Priority RMA tiers (Next Calendar Day, 4-Hour Hardware Delivery, 4-Hour On-Site) focus on how quickly a replacement arrives. Secure RMA (FC-10-T1E24-301) focuses on what happens to the failed unit. Both require FortiCare Premium or Elite as a base plan. If your priority is speed and your organization has no specific disposal documentation requirement, the Next Calendar Day or 4-Hour tiers are appropriate. If disposal documentation is a compliance requirement, Secure RMA is the correct choice regardless of speed expectations.
Priority RMA is an add-on that requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base plan. Here is how the tiers compare on RMA and support capabilities:
| Essential | Premium | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |

Chain-of-custody means every transfer of the failed device is tracked and documented — from your facility to Fortinet’s handling partner, through to secure destruction. A certificate or destruction record is typically provided at the end of the process. The specific documentation varies by region and service agreement; confirm the exact deliverables with Fortinet before purchase.
No. The ‘Secure’ designation describes the disposal process for the failed unit, not the delivery speed for the replacement. Delivery timing follows standard advance-replacement lead times. If faster hardware delivery is the priority, consider the Next Calendar Day (FC-10-T1E24-210) or 4-Hour (FC-10-T1E24-211/212) tiers instead.
Yes, Secure RMA is an advance-replacement service. The replacement ships first, and the failed unit is returned afterward following the chain-of-custody procedures Fortinet specifies. You don’t need to ship the failed unit before getting back online.
No regulation mandates Fortinet Secure RMA by name. However, NIST SP 800-88, HIPAA Security Rule requirements for media sanitization, PCI DSS data destruction standards, and some government contract requirements around controlled unclassified information (CUI) create conditions where an auditable hardware destruction record is expected. Your compliance officer or security team can confirm whether your specific obligations require this service.
A 1-year term is appropriate if you want to align RMA coverage with annual compliance reviews. If the FS-T1024E will be in service for 3 or 5 years, FC-10-T1E24-301-02-36 and FC-10-T1E24-301-02-60 cover the same Secure RMA service over longer periods, avoiding annual renewal gaps that could leave the device temporarily uncovered.
