Figure 49 is the second layer. The second layer implements the shield underneath the crystal. The shield extends
underneath the entire crystal and the X1 and X2 pins. There should be no less than 12 vias to connect the X1 and
X2 planes on layers 1 and 2. These vias are not shown in any other figures. All traces with signals that are not
static must be kept well away from the crystal and the X1 and X2 plane.

Figure 50 is the ground plane and shows a void underneath the crystal shield.
