a) In order to ensure that power for the system can
be maintained for at least 6 hours, regardless
of the mains supply, CR proposes an Uninterruptable
Power Supply (UPS) as described in section 3.7
of this proposal.
The UPS will enable the ASC to operate regardless
of +̲ 10% variation of the mains frequency and +̲
20% variation of the mains voltage. In addition
the system will be immune against transients.
b) The grounding concept of the proposed CR equipment
is the same as used for military equipment which
meets the appropriate Mil spec. All equipment frames
will be connected to the ground provided by customer.
Each piece of equipment will be connected to the
ground bus at one point only, in order to prevent
ground loops.
All signal cables shall contain a logic ground,
separated from the frame ground, and have an overall
shield connected to the frame ground at the CR
equipment end only.
5.5.2.2.3 A̲i̲r̲ ̲C̲o̲o̲l̲i̲n̲g̲
As all rack mounted equipment have internal blowers
using ambient room air for forced ventilation, the
equipment does not require any direct cooling.
Ambient room air is drawn into the racks through the
filters of the front doors and deflected upwards through
the top panel grills.
Refer to Figure 5.5.2.2-2.
The heat dissipation figures for the equipment in the
ASC Area are shown in the table Figure 5.5.2.2-3.

This chapter describes the laboratory equipment necessary
to perform board and unit repair. In accordance with
chapter 4.2.1.2 and the RFP all repair of boards and
units will be CR responsibility. The need for a workshop
will not be necessary and is not prices in this proposal.
The only tools and test equipment needed to perform
on site maintenance will be rather few and consist
of standard electronic repair tools which CR expect
HCAA to have.
The following section give the requirements for a local
repair center.

The training of the Hardware Specialist Group working
in the Workshop is described in chapter 7 of this proposal.
The documentation needed to perform fault finding down
to component level is described in chapter 6 of this
proposal.
8.4 H̲A̲R̲D̲W̲A̲R̲E̲ ̲D̲E̲S̲C̲R̲I̲P̲T̲I̲O̲N̲
8.4.1 M̲o̲c̲k̲ ̲U̲p̲ ̲S̲y̲s̲t̲e̲m̲
The Mock-Up System will consist of modules similar
to the ASC system build up as a none dualized system
without the Watchdog.
8.4.2 W̲o̲r̲k̲b̲e̲n̲c̲h̲ ̲f̲o̲r̲ ̲C̲R̲8̲0̲ ̲M̲o̲d̲u̲l̲e̲s̲
This workbench consists of a stand alone combicrate
with CR80 modules.
The purpose of this workbench is to be able to perform
manual troubleshooting on CR80 modules.
8.4.3 W̲o̲r̲k̲b̲e̲n̲c̲h̲e̲s̲ ̲f̲o̲r̲ ̲P̲e̲r̲i̲p̲h̲e̲r̲a̲l̲s̲
There will be 6 different workbenches covering all
peripherals and CR80 power supply.
All benches will be original peripheral equipment rebuilt
to ease manual troubleshooting.
8.4.4 A̲u̲t̲o̲m̲a̲t̲i̲c̲ ̲T̲e̲s̲t̲ ̲E̲q̲u̲i̲p̲m̲e̲n̲t̲
Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) will be used to trouble
shoot most of the CR80 modules.
The ATE proposed is a "Zentel 802" In Circuit Tester.
Included are Test Fixtures and test programs.
8.4.5 T̲o̲o̲l̲s̲ ̲&̲ ̲T̲e̲s̲t̲ ̲E̲q̲u̲i̲p̲m̲e̲n̲t̲
A list of recommended Tools & Test Equipment will be
submitted.
8.4.6 M̲o̲c̲k̲-̲U̲p̲ ̲F̲a̲c̲i̲l̲i̲t̲i̲e̲s̲
The following describes the Installation and Operating
environment required by the system.
8.4.6.1 A̲S̲C̲ ̲M̲o̲c̲k̲-̲U̲p̲ ̲R̲o̲o̲m̲
The equipment layout of the ASC Mock-Up room is shown
in Figure 8.4.6-1.
The equipment consists of:
Pos. 1 Computer System mounted in 19" rack.
Pos. 2 Delta Data VDU.
The Rack is positioned such that sufficient clearance
is maintained for access to the front and rear of the
equipment. The final layout will take into account
human factors, segregation of functional activities,
access for maintenance and other considerations or
preferences of the customer.
One of the tasks to be performed at the site survey
is to work out optimal layouts in conjunction with
customer.
Typical Access Dimension for rack and terminal equipment
is shown in Figure 5.5.2.1-3 and 4.
The rack is well within the floor load limit of 598
kilogram per square meter as can be seen from the following
calculation:
floor load of rack:
̲ ̲ ̲w̲e̲i̲g̲h̲t̲ ̲ ̲ ̲4̲3̲0̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲k̲g̲ ̲
floor space …0e…=…0f… 0,6 x 1,2 m…0e…2 = 598 kg/m…0e…2…0f…
Since the rack is provided with Access Space at front
and rear, the distributed floor load is considerably
smaller.
8.4.6.2 A̲i̲r̲ ̲C̲o̲o̲l̲i̲n̲g̲
As all rack mounted equipment have internal blowers
using ambient room air for forced ventilation, the
equipment does not require any direct cooling.
Ambient room air is drawn into the rack through the
filters on the front door and deflected upwards through
the top grills. Refer to Figure 5.5.2.2-2.
The heat dissipation figures for the equipment in the
ASC Mock-Up room is shown in the table below:

9.1 G̲E̲N̲E̲R̲A̲L̲
The initial spares quoted in this proposal are CR's
best estimate at the time of bid.
Depending of the configuration of the ASC and the agreed
maintenance philosophy, CR will prepare "Recommended
Spare Part Lists" (RSPL's) on modules and piece parts.
The RSPL's shall be discussed at a Provisioning Conference
between HCAA and CR in order to establish the Approved
Spare Part Lists (ASPL).
The following sections describe the requirements for
spares in case of a local set up of board repair facilities.
This is not priced in this proposal.
9.2 S̲P̲A̲R̲E̲S̲ ̲C̲A̲T̲E̲G̲O̲R̲I̲E̲S̲
9.2.1 C̲o̲n̲s̲u̲m̲a̲b̲l̲e̲s̲
Consumables will be listed in the RSPL but will not
be included in this bid, and are not covered by warranty.
9.2.2 C̲o̲m̲p̲o̲n̲e̲n̲t̲s̲ ̲(̲P̲i̲e̲c̲e̲ ̲P̲a̲r̲t̲s̲)̲
A recommended list of piece parts will be prepared
accordingly to the agreed hardware configuration. The
standard lay-out for this list is shown in figure 9.2.2-1.
9.2.3 M̲o̲d̲u̲l̲e̲s̲
A recommended list of initial spare part modules is
shown in figure 9.2.3-1. This list represent

the amount of spares calculated on the offered hardware
configuration. The list will be updated in relation
to the agreed hardware configuration.
9.3 S̲P̲A̲R̲E̲S̲ ̲R̲E̲Q̲U̲I̲R̲E̲M̲E̲N̲T̲S̲
In accordance with the agreed maintenance philosophy,
spare part lists will be prepared for the workshop
and for the site.
9.4 O̲P̲T̲I̲M̲U̲M̲ ̲S̲P̲A̲R̲E̲S̲ ̲S̲U̲P̲P̲O̲R̲T̲ ̲S̲T̲R̲A̲T̲E̲G̲Y̲
9.4.1 The calculation of numbers of piece parts will be done
by use of Poissons distribution probability with a
minimum of one of each.
9.4.2 In order to determine the number of spare modules it
is assumed that the failure rate of each module (circuit
board) has an exponential distribution. This approximation
holds true for electronic equipment throughout its
useful life, i.e. wear-out phenomena can be ignored.
Thus the probability mass function for each module
is:
p(t) = (1/MTBF) x exp(-t/MTBF)
where MTBF is the Mean Time Between Failure for that
module.
It can be shown that the probability of observing exactly
i failures over a period of t operating hours is given
by the Poisson distribution:
i
p (i) = (̲t̲/̲M̲T̲B̲F̲)̲ ̲ ̲ ̲x̲ ̲e̲x̲p̲(̲-̲ ̲t̲/̲M̲T̲B̲F̲)̲
i!
The Period t corresponds to the accumulated operating
period for the involved modules.
Therefore, the probability of observing r or less failures
during a period t is determined by the cumulative Poisson
distribution:
r i
(̲t̲/̲M̲T̲B̲F̲)̲ ̲ ̲x̲ ̲e̲x̲p̲(̲-̲t̲/̲M̲T̲B̲F̲)̲
P (failures r) =
i!
i = 0
To determine the number of spares r required to obtain
an 80% confidence level for a period of 90 days is
equivalent to determining the minimal r for which the
probability of having more than r failures during the
period covered is less than 20%.
The following equation has to be solved for r:
i =
i
m̲ ̲ ̲ ̲x̲ ̲e̲x̲p̲ ̲(̲-̲m̲)̲
max
i ! .20
r i = r+1
r = number of spares required to obtain
the
required confidence level
m = N x ̲T̲ ̲
MTBF
N = total installed parts population. The
total installed population for a depot is determined
by the number installed items at the sites
involved.
T = length of period for which stock is
required
i.e 90 days for sites and 270 days
for the
central depot(s).
MTBF = Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF = 10…0e…6…0f…/
)
= failure rate per million hours.
Alternatively determine smallest integer r for which
r i
m
.80 exp (-m) x ̲ ̲ ̲
i!
i = 0
9.4.3 The spare parts for the peripheral equipment is the
spare part list recommended by the manufactors.
9.5 S̲P̲A̲R̲E̲S̲ ̲C̲O̲N̲S̲U̲M̲P̲T̲I̲O̲N̲ ̲G̲U̲A̲R̲A̲N̲T̲E̲E̲
If during the warrenty periode it can be proved that
the availability is less than required due to lack
of spares, CR will review the spare part calculation
and upgrade the spare part stock accordingly.
9.6 L̲O̲G̲I̲S̲T̲I̲C̲ ̲D̲E̲L̲A̲Y̲ ̲T̲I̲M̲E̲ ̲(̲L̲D̲T̲)̲
Due to the requested maintenance philosophy, where
HCAA perform the day to day maintenance, the LDT is
out of CR's control.
9.6.1 P̲r̲o̲c̲u̲r̲e̲m̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲S̲p̲a̲r̲e̲s̲
The LDT for procurement of spares will be typical nine
months. Spares will be availabel for max. 15 years
from date of the final acceptance.

10.1 I̲N̲T̲R̲O̲D̲U̲C̲T̲I̲O̲N̲
This chapter discusses the General Mechanical and Electrical
interfaces and buses of the Processor Unit (PU) and
Channel Unit (CU) crate subsystems in CR80 Memory Mapped
Computer Systems.
Each unit (PU or CU) is a mechanical and electrical
entity, normally housed in a standard CR80, 25-slot
Crate (Card Cage). Each PU or CU Crate has its own
power supply (supplies), cooling system, and is galvanically
isolated from all extenal connections:
- S-NET
- X-NET (TDX-Bus)
- DATACHANNEL
- CONFIGURATION BUS
- MAINS LINES
The CR80 or PU, and CU are an electrically and physically
self-contained units, accomodating all address sourcing
devices of a PE. The PU or CU contains various modules.
It is capable of connecting into large multicomputer
configurations, with up to 15 other PE's via fast suprabuses
and to terminal networks via TDX-bus.
Physically, the CR80 modules constituting the PU are
housed in a 19" crate (card-cage) of height 443 mm
and depth 630 mm.
The PU or CU crate supports insertion of the following
CR80 standard modules in its 25 front and 19 rear positions.
As can be expected combination crates also exists,
which pack 2 small or medium size PU's into one 19"
Crate, or combine a PU and CU in one crate. In adddition
a smaller (15 front and 7 rear position) MINICRATE
exists. Since these are interface- and bus-compatible
with the large PU-crate, only the latter is treated
in the following.
The CR80 processing modules are housed in a standard
19" Module Magazine, the Processing Unit Crate (PU-Crate)
or the Channel Unit Crate (CU-Crate). Different types
of crates are available from the CR80 product line
as defined in the data sheets. The data sheets give
the specifications concerning module positions within
the PU-crate and the number of module slots available,
which the general interface specification for the PU-
or CU-crate are defined in this section.
The PU- or CU-crate consists basically of a front magazine
for the front modules (processing modules) and a rear
magazine for rear modules (adapter modules) placed
back to back.
The interface between the front modules and the rear
adapter modules is performed by means of 64p flat cable,
while the interface between the front module is established
by means of multilayer printed circuits boards, two
identical for the two data transfer buses P-bus and
C-bus and a third in the module interface connector
position.
The adapter module interfaces the PU external connections
on the Adapter module panel and by means of 64p flat
cable to the front module. Power and configuration
control signals to the Adapter Modules are distributed
via printed circuit board J3 backplane in upper connector
position of the rear crate.
10.2 M̲E̲C̲H̲A̲N̲I̲C̲A̲L̲ ̲C̲O̲N̲S̲T̲R̲U̲C̲T̲I̲O̲N̲
The PU- and CU-crates constituting a CR80 Computer
is housed in a single or multiple standard 19" rack,
dependent of the actual system configuration. The specifications
given here are related to the integration of systems
while the datasheets give detailed specifications and
dimensions for the available standard racks.
The general construction of the racks is as shown in
figure 10.2-1. The width is standard 19", while the
height and depth will depend on the related type No.
Installation of the system units in rack is performed
as illustrated in the following figures:
10.2-2 CR80 Rack Front View
10.2-3 CR80 Rack Rear View
10.2-4 Installation of Units in CR80 RACK
The following comments to the figures should be noted:
Notes to figure 10.2-1, General Rack Construction:
1. The rack dimensions correspond to 19" standard.
2. The height, H, varies with the different types
and is selected in accordance with the actual system
requirement, i.e. number of system units to be
housed in the rack.
3. The depth, D, varies with the different standard
types and is selected in accordance with the actual
system requirement.

4. The supporting brackets are inserted just below
the System Unit. One right and one left of each
unit.
Notes to figure 10.2-2, CR80 Rack Front View:
1. The system layout is an example and alternative
layouts are possible; the only restriction is that
a Fan unit be located just below the PU and the
CU.
2. The Mains filter is preferably located in the bottom
of the rack as shown, but it could alternatively
be located at the top.
3. The Mains filter has the front panel towards the
front of the rack, but it could as well be turned
around so the front panel is towords the rear of
the rack. If this solution is chosen, a blank panel
is mounted on the front instead of the filter.
Notes to figure 10.2-3, CR80 Rack Rear View:
1. Cables are not included in the figure as the number
of cables depends on the system configuration,
but is should be mentioned that cables should be
supported in accordance with good engineering practice.
2. The shown system configuration example includes
two power distribution panels located at the bottom
of the two fan units. No special requirements are
set on the location of the panels but they should
be located to allow access to the system, for example
opening of the adapter crates in the PU and CU's.
3. As mentioned in the notes to figure 10.2-2 the
mains filter can be turned around.
The FAN UNIT consists of a metal frame which is mounted
permanently in the 19" rack just below the crate. The
frame contains a upper side clearance allowing the
cooling air to dissipate vertically into front and
rear magazine of the crate. The frame contains a drawer
carrying electrical circuits, fan motors and filter
cushion.
The FAN UNIT applies two electrically independent systems
(A and B), each consisting of axial fan motors with
ball-bearings. Each system is capable of maintaining
sufficient cooling air to the associated crate. The
two systems are supplied from different mains phases,
in order that a mains failure will not stop removal
of dissipated heat from the crate.
For each system a POWER-ON lamp is located on front.
Power plug, ON-OFF switch and fuse are located on the
rear side of the unit.
In general the flexible and modular design of the CR80
computer ensures easy installation and maintenance.
High accessibility is achieved through the usage of
front and rear crates, where rear crates can be tilted
in order to provide easier access.
10.3 E̲L̲E̲C̲T̲R̲I̲C̲A̲L̲ ̲D̲E̲S̲I̲G̲N̲
The CR80 computer has been designed with use of the
best standards for commercial and military computer
systems. The aspect of investment protection and cost-effectiveness
has allways been a guideline for the design of CHRISTIAN
ROVSING Equipment.
The computer system offered for the ASC is standard
equipment, which has been proven and field tested in
accordance with current general electrical design requirements.
10.4 R̲E̲L̲I̲A̲B̲I̲L̲I̲T̲Y̲,̲ ̲A̲V̲A̲I̲L̲A̲B̲I̲L̲I̲T̲Y̲,̲ ̲M̲A̲I̲N̲T̲A̲I̲N̲A̲B̲I̲L̲I̲T̲Y̲ ̲(̲R̲A̲M̲)̲
The availability of the proposed equipment is very
high due to not only a high reliability of individual
system elements, but mainly due to the chosen CR80
computer configuration.
The actual availability will be very close to 100%,
due to the exceptional design of the CR80 configuration.
G̲e̲n̲e̲r̲a̲l̲ ̲C̲o̲n̲s̲i̲d̲e̲r̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲s̲
The high system availability has been achieved by the
use of highly reliable modules.
The reliability criteria imposed on the computer systems
have been evaluated and the proposed hardware/software
operational system analysed to determine the degree
of availability and data integrity provided. In this
chapter reliability is stated in numerical terms and
the detailed predictions derived from mathematical
models presented.
The availability predictions are made in accordance
with system reliability models and block diagrams corresponding
to the proposed configuration. This procedure involves
the use of module level and processor unit level failure
rates, or MTBF, (mean time between failures) and MTTR
(meantime to repair); these factors are used in conjunction
with a realistic modeling of the configuration to arrive
at system level MTBF and availability.
Tabulated results of the analysis are presented including
the reliability factors: system MTBF and repair time
MTTR.
The basic elements of the proposed system architecture
are constituted by standard CR80 units. Reliability
and maintainability engineering was a significant factor
in guiding the development of the CR80.
The CR80 architecture is designed with a capability
to achieve a highly reliable computer system in a cost-effective
way. It provides a reliable set of services to the
users of the system because it may be customized to
the actual availability requirements. The CR80 fault
tolerant computers are designed to avoid single point
errors of all critical system elements by provision
of multi-processor capabilities, mirrored disks and
dual power supplies.
The architecture reflects the fact that the reliability
of peripheral devices is lower than that of the associated
CR80 device controllers. This applies equally well
to communication lines where modems are used as part
of the transmision media. Thus, the peripheral devices,
modems, communication line, etc., impact the system
availability much more than the corresponding device
controllers.
To assure this very highly reliable product, several
criteria were also introduced on the module level:
- An extensive use of hi-rel, mil-spec components,
ICs are tested to the requirements of MIL-STD 883
level B or similar
- All hardware is designed in accordance with the
general CR80 H/W design principles. These include
derating specification, which greatly enhance the
reliability and reduce the sensibility to parameter
variations
- Critical modules feature a Built-In Test (BIT)
capability as well as a display of the main states
of the internal process by Light Emitting Diodes
on the module front plate. This greatly improves
module maintainability, as it provides debugging
and trouble shooting methods, which reduce the
repair time
- A high quality production line, which includes
high quality soldering, inspection, burn-in and
an extensive automatic functional test
- Software reliability is another aspect which will
be incorporated in achieving high over all availability
- Data has been replicated in order to increase system
availability
- Automatic and manual facilities are provided to
perform quick reconfiguration in case of errors
- Extensive M & D, maintenance and diagnostic software
can be used to minimize down times.
R̲e̲c̲o̲v̲e̲r̲y̲ ̲P̲r̲o̲c̲e̲d̲u̲r̲e̲s̲
Flexible variation in the size and structure of the
CR80 system used for the ASC are permitted by the unusual
degree of hardware and software modularity. The ASC
hardware essentially consists of fast transfer buses
joined to each other by adapters which allow units
on one bus to access those on another. Dualization
at the internal level regarding disks provides a CR80
hardware architecture which is exploited by the DAMOS
software operating system and programs to survive operational
failure of individual components.
Reliability, which is increasingly becoming of concern
in real-time and distributed network applications,
is achieved in the CR80 computer systems by applying
unique architectural concepts. The CR80 hardware/software
architecture treats all multiprocessors as equal elements
not absolutely dedicated to a specific role. Fault
tolerance and backup are achieved through a redundance
scheme without preassignment of system functions to
specific processors. This is in marked contrast to
the more common rigid dualized configurations often
encountered in dedicated applications with on-line
master/slave arrangements, or off-line backup with
switchover facility.
Performance degradation may result from the occurence
of a failure if it happens durings peak load, because
systems resources are used to recover from errors.
As an example, consider the mirrored disc. If a head
crash occurs on one of the discs, then a fresh blank
disc must be inserted, and all information must be
moved from the non-failed disc to the fresh disc. This
requires more disc activity than normal operational
use, so it might affect performance levels during peak
load situations. Of course the operator can choose
to wait with disc restoration till after peak load,
but this must be considered unrecommendable, because
the system is not able to recover from the next failure.
F̲a̲l̲l̲b̲a̲c̲k̲ ̲P̲r̲o̲c̲e̲d̲u̲r̲e̲s̲
As described earlier, the CR80 configuration for ASC
has been designed to provide maximum availability.
This means that several fallback procedures have been
implemented at the hardware and system software level.
Logical addressing is used throughout the system, which
make it possible to access the system from an alternative
terminal or print out on an alternative hardcopy device
subject to security constraints.
In excess of the standard fall back procedures implemented
in hardware and system software, like the mirrored
disc concept, procedural fall back procedures may be
implemented and enforced by the system. As an example
the parameterized distribution tables found in a similar
project and to be implemented in ASC, can provide a
copy of all messages to be printed on a specific terminal.
R̲e̲c̲o̲v̲e̲r̲y̲ ̲T̲i̲m̲e̲s̲
Recovery times are minimized throughout the system
by using automatic recovery wherever possible. This
approach eliminates all operator reaction time, which
is normally several magnitudes greater than automated
procedures. The actual recovery times depends very
much on the circumstances.
Reintroducing modules as part of restoring a failed
system under system operator control, will be dominated
by operator reaction time, but good procedural rules
and guidelines can minimize the time required.
The system operator can advise users of any planned
system facilities reduction.

The ASC system has been designed with the objective
of providing an extremely high available system.
The computer system is partitioned into system elements
and the model used for reliability and availability
prediction shows how the proposed quipment provides
the high degree of reliability required.
Figure 2.3.5-1
Reliability Model for ASC
User Terminal Position
The reliability characteristics for the system are
stated in numerical terms by a mathematical model.
The supporting detailed prediction is presented in
this chapter. The system model is partitioned into
modular units and system elements that reflect the
redundancy of the configuration; it accounts for all
interconnections and switching points. The MTBF and
MTTR for the individual elements used in the calculations
were obtained from experience with similar equipment
on other programs.
The equipment has been partitioned and functions apportioned,
so that system elements can have only two states -
operable or failed. System elements are essentially
stand-alone and free of chain failures.
Careful attention has been paid in the design to eliminate
series risk elements. Redundant units are repairable
without interruption of service. Maintenance and reconfiguration
are possible without compromising system performance.
The primary source selected for authenticated reliability
data and predictions is the MIL-HDBK-217. The failure
rate data are primarily obtained from experience from
previous programs and continously revised as part of
the maintenance program on concurrent programs.
The reliability model which applies to the proposed
configurations is identified in the figure shown in
the following.
The model that has been calculated covers the basic
operational system. In order to improve availability
for the minimal system and the Communication Handling
system to an even higher degree, you can ensure higher
spare part availability on important modules, which
can be easily introduced as part of a fall back procedure.

The high reliability of the proposed equipment is achieved
through use of proven failure rate equipment similar
to that supplied for other programs.
Early in the design phase, a major objective for each
module is to achieve reliable performance. CR80 modules
make extensive use of carefully chosen components;
most of the IC…08…s are tested to the requirement of MIL-STD
883 level B.
The inverse of MTBF representing failure rate which
applies to system elements and modules is listed.
The MTBF data has been derived from reliability data
maintained on similar programs. Inherent MTBF values
are in general derived from the reliability predictions
accomplished in accordance with the U.S. MIL-HDBK-217
"Reliable Predictions of Electronic Equipment".
Failure rate data for terminal and peripheral equipment
is generally provided by the vendor in accordance with
the subcontract specifications:

The proposed system is designed for ease of maintenance.
The system is built of modules each comprising a complete
well-defined function. Replacement of modular units
result in minimum repair time. Software and firmware
diagnostic routines rapidly isolate faulty modules;
repair can then be performed by semi-skilled maintenance
personnel and usually without special tools.
The proposed system, composed of redundant elements,
meets the objective of ease of maintenance. All units
and system elements are of a modular construction so
that any defective module can be isolated and replaced
in a minimum amount of time.
In the design of the System Elements, careful attention
was given to ease of maintenance without requiring
special tools, so that the maintenance could be performed
by semi-skilled maintenance personnel.
Fault detection and isolation to the system element,
in som cases module level, is inherent in the software
residing in the various processors. In peripheral devices,
the fault detection and isolation is accomplished by
a combination of on-line, software, built-in test,
and operator observations.
In case the correct function of the system is extremely
critical, the Processors will have built-in, on-line,
diagnostic programs. Even though the Processors are
highly reliable, failures can occur; usage of the off-line
diagnostics minimizes the downtime for a system.
An off-line diagnostics software package can be employed
to ease the diagnostics in case of error. Normally,
this software package is stored on disc. After initiation,
the program will test all modules forming the system
and print the name and address of the erronous module
on the operator…08…s console. Having replaced the erronious
module, the Processor is ready for operation again.
The operator might, if necessary, run the off-line
diagnostics program once more to verify that the system
is now working without errors.
The command interpreter module of the diagnostic package
enables the operator to initiate any or all of the
test programs for the specific subsystem off-line,
to assist in trouble shooting and to verify the repair.
Examples of modules tested are LTU…08…s, CPU and RAM modules,
etc.
The diagnostic package will also assist in fault isolation
of the peripherals. However, common and special test
equipment might have to be used to isolate the faulty
module.
The Mean-Time-To-Repair for the equipment is derived
from two sources. The first is actual experience data
on the equipment proposed for the system. The other
source is from predictions generated in accordance
with MIL-HDBK-472 or similar documents. As an example,
the MTTR for the Disk Storage Unit was derived from
repair times measured by the supplier. The repair times
of other units were derived by a time-line analysis
of the tasks associated with fault detection, isolation,
repair, and verification. These repair times were weighted
by the MTBF of each module to derive the unit MTTR.
The calculation of the Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) is
done by weighting the individual module repair times
by the MTBF of the individual module. The MTTRs of
the major CR80 equipments are presented.
The predicted MTTR values are from experience with
modules of other programs. The predicted MTTR assumes
that all tools, repair parts, manpower, etc., required
for maintenance are continuously available.
The equivalent calculated overall availability will be above
99.9
====
For safety reasons MTTR figures used for a calculations
are very conservative, typically 30 minutes, but a
much better result can be obtained when operators and
maintenance people are carefully instructed and trained.
The following figure shows a typical fault isolation
and replacement sequence, when skilled people are used.

The CR80 computer and all peripherals have been designed
with maximum considerations to ergonomics, including
noise levels. That means that the noise level will
generally be better than or equal to what can be expected
from similar equipment.

The CR80 computer is used in many commercial and military
projects with strict requirements to environmental
conditions. Standard temperature ranges are 15-32…0e…o…0f…
but no problem is expected in operation within 10-40

11.3 P̲R̲O̲G̲R̲E̲S̲S̲ ̲C̲H̲A̲R̲T̲
The contract will be executed in accordance with a
progress chart. This chart will be set out in the form
of a linear time-table (Pert Diagram). The unit of
time will be one working week, and the starting date
is to be the date of the signing of the contract between
the HCAA and the contractor.
The first progress chart will be included in the contract
Technical Specification.
The chart will specify the relative dates of all the
actions and decisions to be taken both by the HCAA
and the contractor. Any alterations to this chart will
be examined during the meetings held to discuss the
progress of the contract. The chart will be updated
by the contractor and forwarded to the HCAA within

11.6.1 Final tests in factory may be performed to verify that
the equipment complies technically with the requirements
of the specification. Equipment not complying will
be rejected.
11.6.2 The contractor will furnish a detailed description
of the proposed test techniques and procedures to verify
all equipment parameters and will provide a schedule
for such tests which will be submitted to the HCAA
8̲ ̲w̲e̲e̲k̲s̲ before the tests will start. Both documens
will be, if necessary, amended and be approved by both
parties within s̲i̲x̲ ̲w̲e̲e̲k̲s̲ of the receipt of these documents.

(see para. 5.5.4, 5.5.5 of the present specification)
and its operational and functional requirements (chapters
2 and 3 of the present specification) will be tested.
11.6.3 All equipment and sub-units will be fully intercon-
nected and built up into the system configuration.
Tests considered as impractical in the system configuration
may be performed using simulated inputs or on a test
bench when specifically approved by the HCAA.
11.6.4 The final factory inspection tests will be witnessed
by the HCAA and/or its designated representative. Those
HCAA representatives who will have to carry out the
factory inspections and to witness the tests but have
not received any previous training from the contractor
will be given, at his expense, a week's course of instruction
under the supervision of the engineer responsible for
the design of the equipment.

The provisional acceptance procedure is a series of
tests, carried out by the supplier and witnessed by
the HCAA, designed to verify the correct working of
the entire system, in accordance with the requirements
outlined in the Technical Specification.
The provisional acceptance will cover the entire delivery,
in particular the system, installed, fully tested and
in working order. It will also include the correct
working of the new equipment integrated into existing
systems (the performance parameters of these existing
systems having been clearly defined). An endurance
test and a load test on the equipment shall also be
included in the provisional acceptance tests.
Depending on the method adopted by the contractor to
install and integrate the complete system various subsystems
might be independently tested prior to the system provisional
acceptance tests. This would allow a reduction of the
PA period.
11.7.2 Declaration of PA of the system will be subject to
the satisfactory completion of the following activities
in agreement with the terms and conditions detailed
in the contractual Technical Specification:
a) agreement on the "Provisional Acceptance Schedule";
final factory inspection tess;
b) installation of the equipment to be supplied;
c) execution of the PA Schedule and successful presentation
of all tests defined therein;
d) training courses for the technical and programming
staff on all subjects required;
e) presentation, final agreement and delivery of the
technical and software documentation in the languages
specified;
f) delivery and acceptance of tools, components and
spare parts for maintenance;
g) delvery and acceptance of test systems and test
software.
11.7.3 The contractor will submit to the HCAA a document with
the specification and the schedule of the PA tests
to be carried out on the equipment at least eight weeks
prior to the start of the tests. This document will
be approved by the HCAA and, if necessary, modifications
and/or additions will be stipulated for incorporation
into the text, within four weeks after its receipt.
The aforesaid document will be prepared by the contractor
in cooperation with the Project Group of the HCAA and
concerns the site activities for PA.
It will contain in particular the following items:
a) the procedure to be observed for the good conduct
of the acceptance tests;
b) a plan of all actions to be taken for the testing
of various parts the system and the full system;
c) the specifications of all acceptance tests;
d) the form of documentation for the tests.
11.7.4 The acceptance test specifications are detailed descriptions
of all the tests and define for each test to be executed:
a) the objective of the test;
b) the state of the (sub)-system prior to the execution
of the test;
c) the correct execution of the test;
d) the measures to be taken to record the test results;
e) the predicted test results and/or the results of
preacceptance tests (see para. 11.7.5).
11.7.5 The contractor will, before submitting his equipment
for provisional acceptance, carry out all the tests
defined in the provisional acceptance schedule and
enter the figures for these tests into the provisional
acceptance document. These tests will be defined as
"pre-acceptance tests".
11.7.6 The provisional acceptance tests will be executed in
accordance with the PA schedule and will principally
comprise the following:
a) checking that the equipment is present and fully
installed;
b) partial testing of the different items of the system
and the interchange of data between them;
c) operating conditions (para. 5.6.3, 5.5.4, 5.5.3
of the present specification);
d) verification of the system performances by means
of live or simulated traffic (CHAPTERS 2 and 3
of the present specification);
e) testing of the system reactions on faults and/or
errors introduced into the system (degraded functioning);
f) continuous operation of the entire system for a
period of 72 hours under normal operational conditions
without intervention of maintenance staff.
11.7.7 Additional to the above tests, the HCAA may request
according to its judgement any further justifiable
tests in order to verify in a more detailed way the
conformity of the system with the technical specification.
11.7.8 Should any part of the system fail to pass the provisional
acceptance, i.e. it is "rejected", the contractor will
resubmit his equipment for provisional acceptance after

Final acceptance will normally be declared one year
after the provisional acceptance. Over this year the
system will be evaluated mainly where reliability is
concerned (CHAPTER 10 of the RFP specification).
In the event of a design failure arising in the equipment
during this period, the contractor will correct the
fault at his own expense. In addition, the contractor
will replace all the units or components which become
defective except where the defect has been due to gross
negligence on the part of the HCAA.
