Fortinet FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-F108F-210-02-12)

A PoE switch failure can silence every IP phone, camera, and wireless access point it powers in one shot. The FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE Next Calendar Day Priority RMA 1-Year (FC-10-F108F-210-02-12) cuts the exposure window: once Fortinet confirms the exchange, a courier dispatches a replacement unit to arrive the next calendar day — weekends and holidays included. For a single-year deployment or a site where annual renewal fits the budget cycle, this is the entry-level Priority RMA commitment for the 108F-FPOE.

What This Service Covers

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA is an add-on to an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the same FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE. When a hardware failure occurs, you open a support case, Fortinet confirms the exchange, and the replacement ships via courier for next-calendar-day delivery. This goes beyond standard next-business-day RMA by covering weekend and holiday shipments, which matters for sites that can’t wait for a Monday morning delivery after a Friday failure.

Who Needs It

Any environment where PoE-powered devices form part of the production infrastructure can benefit from Priority RMA. The FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE’s 8 PoE+ ports make it common in conference rooms, small branch offices, and retail locations where IP phones, access points, and IP cameras all depend on it for power and connectivity. A one-day replacement window is considerably better than the standard two-to-five-day replacement cycle of basic RMA coverage, and it comes at a cost that’s feasible even for budget-conscious deployments.

Activation and Delivery

This is a subscription license. After purchase, the contract key arrives electronically from DataCenter360.ca, typically within one business day. Register it to your FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE serial number through the Fortinet Support portal and the service attaches to the device immediately. No hardware ships at activation. The license is available worldwide with no geographic restrictions.

FortiCare Support Levels at a Glance

Priority RMA is an add-on to FortiCare Premium or Elite — it cannot be added to FortiCare Essential. The table below compares the three base support tiers and shows which ones are eligible:

One Service vs. a Broader FortiCare Package

The Next Calendar Day Priority RMA service handles hardware replacement speed only. If you also want 24×7 telephone support and faster critical-issue response, those come from the base FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. If you’re evaluating total support cost for the 108F-FPOE, the full range of FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE licensing options is available at DataCenter360.ca.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Longer terms (3-year, 5-year) are available for the FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE and typically cost less per year.
