Table 32 provides maximum case temperatures for the Desktop Board D865PCD components that
are sensitive to thermal changes. The operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency
could affect case temperatures. Maximum case temperatures are important when considering
proper airflow to cool the Desktop Board D865PCD.

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 Desktop Board D865PCD MTBF
is 101,425 hours.
