Warning!
Use the Mars ZX3 SoC module only with base boards designed for the Enclustra Mars module family.
Inserting the Mars ZX3 SoC module into a SO-DIMM connector designed for memory (e.g. a computer
main board) may damage the module and the carrier board.
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 Mars ZX3 SoC module is a Class A product and is not intended for use in domestic environments. The
product may cause electromagnetic interference, for which appropriate measures must be taken.
