heal.abstract	A parallel (2, n - 2)-system is investigated here where two units start their operation simultaneously and any one of them is replaced instantaneously upon its failure by one of the (n - 2) warm standbys. We assume availability of n non-identical, non-repairable units. The Unit-lifetimes in full operational mode and in partial operational mode have general distribution functions G(i) and H-i (i = 1,..., n) respectively. The system reliability is evaluated by recursive relations. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.	en
