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 Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) data is calculated from predicted data at 55 ºC. The
MTBF calculations for the boards are as follows:
• D845HV board MTBF: 147370.4687 hours
• D845WN board MTBF: 126077.3308 hours
