1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: Mustang-200
The Mustang-200 is a 10 Gbps network based computing accelerator for speeding up
computations, calculations and applications in an affordable and scalable way. Equipped
with two Intel® Core™ i5/i7 processors, 32 GB (four 8GB) RAM, and 1TB (two 512GB)
SSDs, the Mustang-200 PCIe card can be used with the existing system, enabling
high-performance computing without costing a fortune. Multiple Mustang-200 can be
installed into one system to further boost the computing capabilities.
The integrated QTS-Lite operating system supports various virtualization technologies
such as containers and virtual machines, making it easy to convert the physical system
into a virtual one (P2V) and assign it to one of the nodes on the Mustang-200.
SDK and a Web Application are also come with the Mustang-200. The Web Application is
capable of VOD (file to live), Live (live to live) and File (file to file) transcoding scenarios.
Each transcoding scenario can be created using simple wizard steps. It was developed
based on the Host API, allowing developers to modify it to meet their requirements.

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-200 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.
