Authorized Partner for United States (US)Three years of Secure RMA for the FortiSwitch-T1024E spans a standard network refresh cycle without contract gap risk. FC-10-T1E24-301-02-36 is the mid-term option for organizations subject to compliance requirements around hardware disposal — the documented chain-of-custody process required under HIPAA, PCI DSS, or federal data handling frameworks — where managing a single 3-year contract is more practical than three consecutive 1-year renewals.
FC-10-T1E24-301-02-36 provides Secure RMA for the registered FS-T1024E for 3 years:
The 3-year term provides continuous coverage without renewal administration. Note that the underlying FortiCare plan must also remain active throughout this period — a gap in FortiCare coverage would affect RMA eligibility.
The 3-year term fits organizations that purchase FortiSwitch hardware alongside FortiCare and RMA contracts aligned to a standard 36-month lifecycle. Healthcare networks, financial institutions, and government contractors with formal hardware disposal policies are the core buyers. The multi-year term simplifies audit preparation: a single contract covers the full period rather than three separate annual agreements to track.
Electronic license, delivered within 0-1 business days of purchase from DataCenter360.ca. Register in the Fortinet Support portal at support.fortinet.com using the FS-T1024E serial number. Coverage starts on the registration date and runs for 36 months. No physical items ship for the license itself.
Fortinet offers Secure RMA for the T1024E in 1-year (FC-10-T1E24-301-02-12), 3-year (FC-10-T1E24-301-02-36, this contract), and 5-year (FC-10-T1E24-301-02-60) terms. If speed of replacement is the primary concern rather than disposal compliance, the Next Calendar Day tier (FC-10-T1E24-210) is worth comparing. Secure RMA and standard Priority RMA are separate service categories — they cannot be combined.
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 | — | ✓ | ✓ |

Yes, provided the underlying FortiCare Premium or Elite plan is also kept current for the full 3 years. If the FortiCare plan lapses mid-term, RMA eligibility may be suspended until it is renewed. Aligning both contracts to the same 3-year term — FortiCare and Secure RMA — avoids this scenario.
Fortinet provides disposal documentation through its chain-of-custody process, typically a certificate of destruction. The exact form of documentation varies by region and service agreement. If your compliance program requires a specific format — for example, a NIST 800-88-compliant media sanitization record — confirm the available documentation with Fortinet before purchase.
Yes, Secure RMA contracts can be renewed. Contact DataCenter360.ca before the expiration date to avoid a coverage gap. If the FS-T1024E is still in service at the 3-year mark, renewal is typically straightforward. Fortinet renewal pricing may differ from new-contract pricing.
Fortinet RMA terms generally cover manufacturer hardware defects, not accidental damage from external events like power surges or physical impact. Check your specific service agreement or open a pre-sales TAC inquiry if you have a specific scenario to validate before purchase.
Secure RMA focuses on the disposal chain, not delivery speed. If you also need a faster advance replacement — say, next calendar day or 4-hour — that requirement is not currently met by a single Fortinet contract. Standard Priority RMA (210/211/212 series) provides faster delivery but without the documented disposal process. Evaluate which requirement is the compliance priority for your organization.
