Check and Clear of MTBF Information

The server manages the MTBF (mean time between failure) of each component. If a fault occurs in a
component, the server calculates the MTBF of the component again. If the calculated value is lower than the
pre-defined threshold, the server disables the component to be used.
A disabled component with the MTBF lower than the threshold can be forcibly enabled by clearing the MTBF.
