A one-year FortiCare Essential contract keeps your FortiSwitch 108F POE covered through a single budget cycle — a practical choice for branch offices that review support renewals annually or for switches still in a pilot phase. The FS-108F-POE is the partial-PoE variant in the 108F family, supplying power on four of its eight GE ports (IEEE 802.3af/at) alongside two SFP uplinks, positioning it between the base 108F with no PoE and the FPOE model with all ports powered.
FortiCare Essential is Fortinet’s foundational support tier for the FortiSwitch 108F POE. The contract covers next-business-day response to critical issues submitted via email, return-and-replace hardware RMA processing if the unit fails, firmware and security updates throughout the contract term, and access to Fortinet’s online support tools and asset management portal. Telephone support and advance hardware replacement are not included at this tier — those are available under the FortiCare Premium and Elite tiers shown below.
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware updates, online tools & asset portal | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | — |
FortiCare Essential suits SMB and branch deployments where a next-business-day response window is acceptable and same-day hardware swap is not a hard requirement. IT teams running a small number of FortiSwitch 108F POE units alongside a Fortinet firewall or wireless controller — where the switch carries non-critical edge traffic — will find this tier sufficient without paying for premium response times they rarely use.
After purchase, Fortinet delivers the activation key electronically to the email address on the order. There is no physical shipment. Activation is completed through Fortinet’s support portal by associating the key with the switch’s serial number. This electronic delivery model places no geographic restriction on the contract, making it available to buyers worldwide.
FC-10-F108P-314-02-12 is a standalone renewal contract, not a hardware bundle. If the FortiSwitch 108F POE was purchased as hardware, this SKU extends or reinstates support after the factory warranty period ends. It does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions, which carry separate service codes and are applied at the management layer rather than the switch hardware layer.
DataCenter360.ca supplies this 1-year Essential renewal as an authorized Fortinet reseller. At $30.14 USD, this is the entry-level option for maintaining covered support on a FortiSwitch 108F POE through one renewal cycle. Orders are processed electronically and the activation key is delivered after payment confirmation, with no minimum order quantity required for single-unit renewals.
