2.7 Reliability
The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and
subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Telcordia SR-332,
Issue 2; Method I Case 3 50% electrical stress, 55 ºC ambient. 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 for the Intel Desktop Board
DZ75ML-45K is 244,265 hours.
