Warning!
It is possible to mount the Mercury SA1 SoC module the wrong way round on the base board - always
check that the mounting holes on the base board are aligned with the mounting holes of the Mercury
SA1 SoC module.
The base board and module may be damaged if the module is mounted the wrong way round and
powered up.
1.1.6
Electrostatic Discharge
Electronic boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please ensure that the product is handled
with care and only in an ESD-protected environment.
1.1.7
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The Mercury SA1 SoC module is a Class A product (as defined in IEC 61000-3-2 standard) and is not in-
tended for use in domestic environments. The product may cause electromagnetic interference, for which
appropriate measures must be taken.
