COM Express® Eval Carrier Type 2
2 Introduction
The COM Express® Evaluation carrier board for Type 2 modules is designed to allow embedded application
developers to get up and running quickly on the COM Express® basic and compact form factors, giving them a
head start on the total system design. Simply select a pin-out Type 2 COM Express CPU module, then Plug & Go.
The Kontron COM Express® Eval Type 2 is an evaluation backplane for COM Express® Computer-on-Modules
following the PICMG COM.0 specification with pin-out Type 2.

3.6 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) values were calculated using a combination of manufacturer’s
test data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts. The Bellcore calculation
used is “Method 1 Case 1”. In that 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.
Manufacturer’s data has been used wherever possible. The manufacturer’s data, when used, is specified at 50°
C, so in that sense the following results are slightly conservative. The MTBF values shown below are for a 40° C in
an office or telecommunications environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme
altitude, vibration, salt water exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.
» System MTBF: 264194 hours @ 40°C
