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 for: 
  Redesigning the  motherboard  for  alternate components  if failure rates exceed 
reliability expectations. 
  Estimating repair rates and spare parts requirements. 
MTBF data is calculated from predicted data @ 55 C. 
The MTBF prediction for the motherboard is 213,209 hours.
