2.13 Reliability
The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and
subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Bellcore Reliability Prediction
Procedure, TR-NWT-000332, Issue 4, September 1991. The MTBF prediction is used to estimate
repair rates and spare parts requirements.
The MTBF data is calculated from predicted data at 55 ºC. The MTBF calculations for the
Desktop Boards are as follows:
•
Desktop Board D845EBG2 MTBF: 83,579.89402 hours
•
Desktop Board D845EPT2 MTBF: 85,468.91666 hours
