V3200 Series
Quick Installation Guide
Embedded Computers
Version 1.0, March 2023
Overview
The V3200 Series embedded computers are built around an Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Intel® Celeron® high-performance processor and come 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, the V3200 computers are equipped with a rich set of interfaces including 4 Gigabit 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 the brackets to the computer using 4 screws on each side. Ensure that the mounting 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 product package. 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 the product package; they need to be purchased separately.
Ensure that the V3200 computer is installed in the direction shown in the following figure:
Connecting the Power
The V3200 computers are provided with M12 power input connectors on the front panel. Connect the power cord wires to the connectors and then tighten the connectors. Push the power button; the Power LED (on the power button) will light up to indicate that power is being supplied to the computer. It should take about 30 to 60 seconds for the operating system to complete the boot-up process.
Pin | Definition |
1 | V+ |
2 | N.C. |
3 | V- |
4 | N.C. |
The power input specification is given below:
- DC source with a power source rating of 24 V @ 4.0 A; 110 V @ 0.9 A, and a minimum of 18 AWG.
For surge protection, connect the grounding connector located beside the power connector with the earth (ground) or a metal surface.
NOTE This computer is designed to be supplied by listed equipment (UL listed/ IEC 60950-1/ IEC 62368-1) rated 24 to 110VDC, minimum 4 to 0.9 A, and minimum Tma=70˚C. If you need assistance with purchasing a power adapter, contact the Moxa technical support team.
