Overview
The V3200 Series embedded computers are built around an Intel®
Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Intel® Celeron® high-performance processor andcome with up to 64 GB RAM, one M.2 2280 M key slot, and two
HDD/SSD for storage expansion. The computers are compliant with EN
50155:2017 and EN 50121-4 standards covering operating
temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration, making
them suitable for railway onboard and wayside applications.
For connecting with onboard and wayside systems and devices, theV3200 computers are equipped with a rich set of interfaces including 4Gigabit Ethernet ports (default; can go up to 8 ports) with one-pair LAN
bypass function to ensure uninterrupted data transmission, 2 RS232/422/485 serial ports, 2 DIs, 2 DOs, and 2 USB 3.0 ports. The builtin TPM 2.0 module ensures platform integrity and provides hardwarebased security as well as protection from tampering.
Vehicular applications require reliable connectivity. They also require
clear indicators on the device that identify the status of the software.
The V3200 computers come with two 5G/one LTE and 6 SIM-card slots
to help establish redundant LTE/Wi-Fi connections and 3 programmable
LEDs that enable monitoring of the runtime status of software.

Installing the V3200
The V3200 computer comes with 2 wall-mounting brackets. Attach thebrackets to the computer using 4 screws on each side. Ensure that themounting brackets are attached to the V3200 computer in the direction
shown in the following figure.

The 8 screws for the mounting brackets are included in the productpackage. They are standard IMS_M3x5L screws and require a torque of
4.5 kgf-cm. Refer to the following illustration for details.

Use 2 screws (M3*5L standard is recommended) on each side to attach
the V3200 to a wall or cabinet. These 4 screws are not included in theproduct package; they need to be purchased separately.
