1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: Mustang-M2AE-MX1
The Mustang-M2AE-MX1 is a deep learning convolutional neural network acceleration
card for speeding up AI inference, in a flexible and scalable way. Equipped with Intel®
Movidius™ Myriad™ X Vision Processing Unit (VPU), the Mustang-M2AE-MX1 M.2 card
can be used with the existing system, enabling high-performance computing without
costing a fortune. VPUs can run AI faster, and is well suited for low power consumption
applications such as surveillance, retail and transportation. With the advantage of power
efficiency and high performance to dedicate DNN topologies, it is perfect to be
implemented in AI edge computing device to reduce total power usage, providing longer
duty time for the rechargeable edge computing equipment.
"Open Visual Inference & Neural Network Optimization (OpenVINO™) toolkit" is based on
convolutional neural networks (CNN), the toolkit extends workloads across Intel®
hardware and maximizes performance. It can optimize pre-trained deep learning model
such as Caffe, MXNET, Tensorflow into IR binary file then execute the inference engine
across Intel®-hardware heterogeneously such as CPU, GPU, Intel® Movidius™ Myriad X
VPU, and FPGA.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the Mustang-M2AE-MX1 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
Mustang-M2AE-MX1
may result in permanent damage to the
Mustang-M2AE-MX1 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the Mustang-M2AE-MX1. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the Mustang-M2AE-MX1 or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the Mustang-M2AE-MX1, place it
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
Mustang-M2AE-MX1.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.

Mustang-M2AE-MX1
Page 11
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully
followed in order to prevent damage to the Mustang-M2AE-MX1, its
components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
The user manual provides a complete description of the Mustang-M2AE-MX1
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Turn off system:
When installing the Mustang-M2AE-MX1, make sure that the system to be
connected is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is
being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the Mustang-M2AE-MX1 DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.
