Fortinet FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE Secure RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-TF124-301-02-12)

Compliance-sensitive environments handle hardware returns differently. FC-10-TF124-301-02-12 covers the FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE with a 1-year Secure RMA contract: chain-of-custody protocols from fault detection through hardware disposition, designed for deployments where data residency requirements or security policy dictate how a failed network switch changes hands.

What Secure RMA Covers

FC-10-TF124-301-02-12 is a 1-Year Secure RMA add-on that requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base plan on the T1024F-FPOE. Standard RMA processes involve returning failed hardware through regular carrier networks, which introduces chain-of-custody questions for sensitive deployments. Secure RMA addresses this with:

• Documented chain-of-custody from the moment the failed unit is collected
• Secure logistics procedures governed by Fortinet’s Secure RMA program
• Controlled destruction or disposition of the returned hardware, reducing residual data exposure risk

Coverage is tied to the T1024F-FPOE serial number and activates from the date of electronic fulfillment.

Who Needs Secure RMA

The FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE can serve core switching in regulated and high-security environments. Secure RMA is relevant for organizations where:

• Security policy requires documented hardware custody during failure and return events
• Regulatory frameworks (such as government, healthcare, or financial sector compliance) require verified hardware disposition
• The switch stores or processes configuration data that must not leave the custody chain unmonitored

FortiCare Tiers and Priority RMA Eligibility

Secure RMA is a Priority RMA add-on. FortiCare Premium or Elite is required on the T1024F-FPOE before this contract applies. The table below shows how hardware replacement coverage and support tiers relate:

FortiCare Essential does not support Priority RMA add-ons. To activate Secure RMA, the T1024F-FPOE must have an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract.
