The following MTBF (M

MTBF
ean Time Between Failure) values were calculated using a combination of manufac-
, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts. The Bellcore
at particular method the components are assumed to be
operating at a 50% stress level in a 40°C ambient environment and the system is assumed to have not been
burned in

possible. The manufacturer’s data, when used, is
C, so in that sense the following results are slightly conservative. The MTBF values shown
below are for a 40°C
mperatures and other envi-
ronmenta
esses (extreme altitude, vibration
ater exposure, etc.) cause lower MTBF values.
Note: Fans usually shipped with KONTRON Technology A/S products have 50.000-hour typical operating life. The above esti-
tion assumes no fan but a passive heat sinking arrangement. Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures)
