The FC-10-W248E-314-02-36 is a 3-year FortiCare Essential support renewal for the FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE (FS-248E-FPOE), a 48-port full-PoE+ access switch delivering 740W across all 48 ports simultaneously with 4x SFP uplinks. A 3-year term eliminates two separate renewal cycles, reduces procurement overhead, and spreads the cost across a longer period , a practical choice for teams that plan their network infrastructure on multi-year cycles.
FortiCare Essential (service code 314) is the entry-level FortiCare tier for the FS-248E-FPOE. It provides next-business-day response for critical issues, return-and-replace hardware RMA, firmware and security updates, access to the Fortinet online Support portal, and the asset management portal for tracking entitlements. The comparison below shows Essential against the Premium and Elite tiers.

The 3-year term is well suited for organizations that have standardized on the FS-248E-FPOE for medium-density PoE deployments , IP phone banks, indoor camera arrays, or wireless AP floors , and want to lock in support without managing annual renewals. IT teams with limited procurement bandwidth benefit from the reduced administrative cycle while maintaining continuous FortiCare coverage on a switch whose full-PoE capacity can power all 48 endpoints at once.
FC-10-W248E-314-02-36 is an electronic entitlement delivered worldwide to the email address on the order. Activate it at support.fortinet.com against your registered FS-248E-FPOE serial number. If you renew before your current contract expires, the 3-year period stacks on from the existing expiry date rather than starting from today. No physical media is shipped.
This contract covers the FortiCare support entitlement on the switch unit only. It does not include FortiGuard subscription services or any software add-ons. If the FS-248E-FPOE is managed via FortiLink from a FortiGate, security subscription renewals are handled separately on the gateway. Over a 3-year window, budgeting both contracts together at purchase time avoids mid-cycle gaps.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner. The 3-year term reduces the number of renewal transactions your team handles during the typical lifecycle of an FS-248E-FPOE deployment.
