Authorized Partner for United States (US)Enterprise branch and campus deployments often run on 5-year hardware refresh cycles. Purchasing support contracts one year at a time against a 5-year hardware plan creates five separate renewal events and five separate windows where a missed renewal could remove the fast-replacement guarantee. The Fortinet FortiSwitch-108F-POE 4-Hour Hardware Priority RMA 5-Year (FC-10-F108P-211-02-60) eliminates all of that: one purchase, 60 months of 4-hour hardware delivery coverage on the FS-108F-POE from registration to expiry.
This add-on requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the active base contract. When an RMA case opens on the FortiSwitch-108F-POE, Fortinet targets delivery of a replacement unit within 4 hours. The 5-year term applies that guarantee for the full planned service life of the switch, co-terming cleanly with a 5-year FortiCare base contract. For PoE switch deployments powering critical endpoints like IP telephony, security cameras, or wireless APs, this level of replacement speed matters: a 4-hour recovery window is substantially different from overnight or multi-day waits.
The 5-year Priority RMA term suits enterprise procurement models where support is budgeted and purchased alongside hardware, not renewed annually. Managed service providers running FS-108F-POE units under multi-year client contracts find the 5-year term cleanest for matching service obligations to support coverage. Organizations in regulated industries — healthcare, financial services, government — that require consistent, documented support SLAs over long periods also benefit from a single co-terminus contract that doesn’t introduce renewal-gap risk.
FC-10-F108P-211-02-60 is a software-only service contract. DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration key electronically after purchase, typically within one business day. Registration in the Fortinet Support portal attaches the 60-month Priority RMA coverage to the FS-108F-POE serial number immediately. No hardware ships at activation. The license is available worldwide with no geographic restriction on the contract itself.
Priority RMA is available exclusively on FortiCare Premium or Elite base contracts. The table below shows the key differences across FortiCare tiers before the Priority RMA add-on:
| Essential | Premium | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
This is the 5-year (60-month) term. The FortiSwitch-108F-POE Priority RMA 211 series is also available in 1-year and 3-year terms. At the 60-month mark, a renewal covers any continued deployment beyond the initial term. Fortinet Support portal sends renewal reminders before expiry. Priority RMA must remain co-terminus with the active FortiCare base contract.
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner with direct authorization to register FortiSwitch support contracts. Long-term support orders for the FS-108F-POE are processed with the same electronic delivery as shorter terms. We cross-check base FortiCare eligibility and confirm serial-number matching before finalizing any Priority RMA order. Order the FC-10-F108P-211-02-60 online, receive your key the same or next business day, and have five years of 4-hour hardware replacement coverage active on your FortiSwitch-108F-POE.
The primary benefit is simplicity and continuity. A single 5-year purchase removes four annual renewal events, reduces the risk of coverage gaps, and aligns support costs to a predictable 5-year budget period. It also ensures the 4-hour hardware delivery guarantee stays active throughout the switch’s entire planned service life without administrative intervention.
Fortinet support contracts are generally tied to a specific serial number and are not transferable or refundable. If the FortiSwitch-108F-POE is replaced before the 5-year term expires, the remaining contract value cannot typically be applied to a new unit. If early hardware replacement is likely, a 1-year or 3-year term may be more appropriate. DataCenter360.ca can help assess which term fits your refresh cycle.
No. The 211 series covers hardware delivery within 4 hours without an on-site engineer. For deployments where local IT staff cannot perform the physical swap, the FC-10-F108P-212 series (4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer) adds a Fortinet-dispatched engineer to the service.
FortiCare Premium or Elite. The Priority RMA add-on is not compatible with FortiCare Essential. Both contracts must be active and co-terminus on the same FS-108F-POE serial number at the time of an RMA case for the 4-hour guarantee to apply.
The contract license is delivered electronically and is available worldwide. Physical 4-hour hardware delivery depends on Fortinet’s regional logistics network. DataCenter360.ca can confirm regional availability before you finalize the purchase if your FortiSwitch-108F-POE is deployed outside Canada.
