Reliability

The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and

subassembly random failure rates. The MTBF prediction is used to estimate repair rates and spare

parts requirements. The MTBF for the Compute Stick is driven by the fan Mean Time to Failure

(MTTF) of 46,855 hours.
