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.

5Connectors and Features
5.1 Power supply
5.1.1 ATX connector
The COM Express® Eval Type 10 power supply follows the ATX 2.x specification and the baseboard should be supplied
by connecting an ATX PSU with 24pin ATX and 4pin ATX_12V supply cable in correct orientation. The 4pin ATX_12V
connector mainly supplies power to the module over 0R resistor R876 and allows powering the module directly in
specified wide range power input. The module additionally is supplied with 5V standby voltage over 0R resistor R246.
Standby voltage can easily be disconnected by opening jumper J67 to drive the module in single supply mode. Use
connector J70 and J69 for current measurements.

5.1.2 PS_ON override & S5 Eco
With PS_ON override jumper J14 it is possible to switch off the ATX power supply manually. Jumper J66 should be
opened to test module S5Eco or single supply mode.
In S5Eco mode all baseboard components (including status LED) are disconnected from standby voltages in S5 state.
5VSB supply to the module can be disconnected separately with jumper J67.
Note: If S5Eco mode is enabled only power button SW1 is supported to power-on the system.
