A 3-year Essential Support term for the FS-108F base model (FC-10-F108N-314-02-36) removes annual renewal overhead and locks in coverage through a predictable three-year budget cycle. The contract delivers the same email-based critical-issue response, return-and-replace RMA, firmware updates, and online tools as the 1-year option, but with no renewal event to track until the term expires. Suited to stable network environments where the FS-108F (no PoE) is expected to stay in service for the full term.
FortiCare Essential provides email-based critical-issue response with a next-business-day SLA. Hardware failures are handled through a return-and-replace RMA process : you ship the defective FS-108F to Fortinet first, and a replacement ships after receipt. The contract also includes firmware and software updates, access to Fortinet’s online support tools, and registration in the asset portal. There is no telephone support line and no advance-ship replacement option at this tier.

This contract is for organizations that already own the FS-108F base model and want continuous support coverage without managing a yearly renewal. The FS-108F is an 8-port GE switch with 2 SFP uplinks and no PoE, designed for small office or wiring-closet deployments where PoE is not required. Essential tier is appropriate where next-business-day response is acceptable and telephone support is not needed. This is a renewal SKU only; the hardware must already be registered on the Fortinet Support Portal before this contract can be activated.
FC-10-F108N-314-02-36 is an electronic license. After purchase, Fortinet issues a registration key that you apply through the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com to attach the 3-year contract to your FS-108F serial number. No physical shipment is involved. The contract is valid worldwide : there are no geographic restrictions on electronic FortiCare support licenses.
FC-10-F108N-314-02-36 covers support only. It does not include FortiGuard security services or extended monitoring features. If your environment requires telephone access or advance hardware replacement, FortiCare Premium is the next step up. Confirm your hardware model before ordering: the FS-108F base model (no PoE) uses a different FortiCare SKU family than the FS-108F-POE and FS-108F-FPOE variants, which have their own renewal contracts.
