Product description

FC-10-F108F-314-02-36 extends FortiCare Essential Support on the FortiSwitch 108F FPOE for three years in a single purchase. The 3-year term eliminates two separate renewal cycles, reduces administrative overhead for teams managing switch infrastructure across multiple budget years, and keeps the FS-108F-FPOE under continuous Fortinet support through a full mid-range refresh period. It is the practical choice when the switch is a stable, long-term fixture in a small office or wiring closet.

What it covers

FortiCare Essential Support provides the baseline service level for the FS-108F-FPOE. Under this contract, Fortinet’s team responds to critical issues by the next business day via email. Hardware failures are handled through a return-and-replace RMA process: you ship the defective unit back, and Fortinet ships a replacement after receiving it. The contract also includes access to all firmware updates, Fortinet’s online support tools, and the asset management portal for the full three-year term. The table below compares Essential against the Premium and Elite tiers.

Who needs it

This renewal is designed for network administrators managing PoE-powered endpoints — access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones — through the FS-108F-FPOE in a small office or wiring closet. If your environment can tolerate a next-business-day email response and a ship-back RMA cycle, Essential is the cost-effective path to maintaining active Fortinet support. The 3-year term particularly suits teams that want to align switch support expiry with other multi-year infrastructure contracts. It is a renewal-only SKU and is not available alongside initial hardware purchase.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-F108F-314-02-36 is an electronic license contract with no physical shipment. After purchase, Fortinet delivers a registration key by email. You activate it through the Fortinet Support Portal and link it to the serial number of your FS-108F-FPOE, extending the entitlement by three years from the current expiry date. Because delivery is electronic, this SKU is available to buyers worldwide, regardless of location.

One service vs the bundle

FortiCare Essential is a dedicated support renewal covering only the FS-108F-FPOE hardware contract. It does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions, SD-WAN services, or threat-intelligence feeds. If the switch operates in a FortiLink topology with a FortiGate upstream, the FortiGate’s own subscriptions are managed separately. Essential covers the switch support entitlement only, with no bundled security services.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

At $90.42 for three years, FC-10-F108F-314-02-36 covers the same period as three consecutive 1-year contracts while requiring only a single purchase transaction. DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, so the license is genuine, registered directly with Fortinet, and delivered electronically after order confirmation to buyers worldwide. A 3-year commitment suits organizations that plan to keep the FS-108F-FPOE in service through the next infrastructure review cycle and want to avoid annual renewal reminders.

Frequently asked questions

Does FC-10-F108F-314-02-36 include telephone support?
No. FortiCare Essential covers email-based support only. Critical issues receive a next-business-day response. Telephone support is included under FortiCare Premium and Elite tiers.
Can I buy this contract when I purchase a new FS-108F-FPOE?
No. FortiCare Essential (svc code 314) is a renewal contract and is not available for initial hardware purchase. It applies to switches already registered with Fortinet whose original support period is nearing expiry.
How does the 3-year term activate against an existing support expiry?
When you apply the registration key in the Fortinet Support Portal, the 3-year entitlement stacks onto the current expiry date of your FS-108F-FPOE contract. Activating before the current term ends avoids any gap in coverage.
Is this SKU available to buyers outside Canada?
Yes. FC-10-F108F-314-02-36 is delivered electronically and carries no geographic restriction. DataCenter360.ca ships hardware to Canada only, but electronic licenses like this one are available worldwide.
What does the return-and-replace RMA process involve?
You ship the defective FS-108F-FPOE back to Fortinet first, and they send a replacement unit after receiving and verifying it. Advance replacement, which ships the replacement before you return the defective unit, is available under Premium and Elite tiers.
