Hey @Eric-Katzfey @Vinny 
I would like to know whether i can cut out the semi circle extension. there is a cutting edge provided in the board. Is it safe to remove from that point

HI @Jetson-Nano 
Yes, absolutely. That was the way we designed it. Some customers need a mounting point, others do not care.
We refer to it as "M0178" when the mounting hole is present, and "M0171" when it is removed, hence the double markings.

The edge there is v-scored, so just gently use a small pair of pliers or strong tweezers to remove that semi-circle, and check for burs (frays/splinters of laminate) and gently smooth it with any ESD safe method like a Kim-wipe or anything you have.
Thanks!

@Vinny Thank you for reverting back, I will follow the steps you mentioned along with the ESD safe method.
