Registering a FortiGate unit after an RMA

The Return Material Authorization (RMA) process starts when a customer’s registered FortiGate unit doesn't work properly due to a hardware failure. If this happens while the FortiGate unit is still protected by hardware coverage, you can return the FortiGate unit that is not functioning to your reseller or distributor.

The RMA is recorded and you will receive a replacement unit. Fortinet adds the RMA information to the Fortinet support database. When you receive the replacement unit you can use the following procedure to update your product registration information.

1Go to System > Update > Support and select Support Login.

2Enter your Fortinet support user name and password to log in.

3Select Add Registration.

4Select the link to replace a unit with a new unit from an RMA.

5Select Finish.

The list of FortiGate products that you have registered is displayed. The list now includes the replacement FortiGate unit. All support levels are transferred to the replacement unit.
