Committing to three years of FortiCare Essential on a FortiSwitch 108F POE removes two renewal cycles from your maintenance calendar and lowers the per-year support cost compared to renewing annually — a straightforward choice for branch offices where this switch is established, stable infrastructure rather than a short-term deployment. The FS-108F-POE sits between the base 108F (no PoE ports) and the FPOE variant (all eight ports powered), providing IEEE 802.3af/at power on four GE ports and two SFP uplinks for uplink connectivity.
FortiCare Essential is Fortinet’s foundational support tier for the FortiSwitch 108F POE. This 3-year contract covers next-business-day response to critical issues via email, return-and-replace hardware RMA, firmware and security updates for the full contract duration, and access to Fortinet’s online support tools and asset management portal. Telephone support and advance replacement are not part of this tier and require an upgrade to Premium or Elite, as shown in the comparison below.

This contract is well matched to SMB and distributed branch environments where the FortiSwitch 108F POE handles general edge switching, a business-day response window is workable, and the priority is maintaining continuous support coverage without annual renewal overhead. Organizations managing several FortiSwitch units under a Fortinet fabric will benefit from aligning all contracts to the same 3-year renewal window.
After purchase, Fortinet delivers the activation key electronically to the email on the order — no physical shipment is involved. The key is registered to the FortiSwitch 108F POE’s serial number through Fortinet’s support portal, activating the full 3-year term from the registration date. Electronic delivery means this contract ships to buyers worldwide with no geographic restriction.
FC-10-F108P-314-02-36 is a standalone renewal contract, not a hardware bundle. It extends or reinstates support on an existing FortiSwitch 108F POE after the factory warranty period. FortiGuard security subscriptions are separate and carry distinct service codes; this SKU covers hardware support only.
DataCenter360.ca offers this 3-year Essential renewal at $77.20 USD — approximately $25.73 per year — making it more cost-effective than three separate 1-year renewals at $30.14 each. As an authorized Fortinet reseller, DataCenter360.ca processes the order electronically and delivers the activation key after payment confirmation. Multi-unit orders for the same term can be consolidated into a single transaction.
