Re: [Astlinux-users] Jetway JBC373F38W Atom D525 Fanless Appliance

[The C. K. <eld...@ya...>]

 I didnt count lightning strikes..  I have had 2 lost in lightning strikes..  MAJOR strikes..   since we often have systems connected via T1 / PRI. by way of an Adtran TA900, the point of lightning failure (even with SNEAK) tends to be the T1's get popped..  either the can or the pole depending on the location... other times the station cabling is hit.. (majority of our sites have a few IP sets and many analogs on gateways).  in the 2 cases of loss of APUs the core switches, adtrans, at least one GXW-4224 were destroyed...  both APU boards were completely INOP. however their flashes were still good when placed into new boards..  

I dont count lightning failures unless a board seems to be the only thing damaged over and over..  and we havent seen that..  we havent had hardly any failiures of standard Jetway boards in the iDotPC 1u enclosures ..  NF99 (cant remember the rest of the number) D525 boards are our most common Jetway product in the field..  at least 100 of them and they are solid... all of those are WD black 2.5" spindles.

I don't use this particular box but also to concur that I have never lost a PC Engines box except for the one that was hit by lightning, and that was only the eth0 port.

same experience on my end..  i had 3 in the field.. 2 were lost when the phone room temp went consistently above 80 degrees for the summer months.  the other is still in service, however in a very controlled IT environment. 
 
  
 
we havent yet lost any APU or APU2 boards and have 100s out in the field, some in pretty crappy environments..  all are PC-engines mini cases mounted to UTR-1 vented rack-shelves for additional passive cooling
 
  
 
our Soekris NET5501 boxes are slowly losing their CF cards after 7-8 years in the field now..  boards are still just fine..

We have had multiple reports that after 3-5 years of use, this appliance fails.
 
  
 
Presumably heat related.
 
  
 
If you have this appliance in production, consider replacing it.
