Lenovo ThinkStation P2 TWR i5-14500 /16GB /512GB

General

This Configuration — From the Distributor Build Sheet for 30FR000BSG

Chassis and Platform — From Lenovo PSREF, ThinkStation P2 Tower

Why this page carries two specification tables

Lenovo's PSREF book is written for a machine type, not for a part number. It tells you what the ThinkStation P2 Tower chassis can be built with - every processor, every graphics card, every memory and storage option - but it cannot tell you what is inside this particular unit, and Lenovo's per-part-number pages are not readable outside a browser. The distributor's build sheet is the second source that closes that gap: it states the processor, memory, storage, graphics, wireless card, power supply and warranty for 30FR000BSG specifically. Keeping the two apart is the honest way to present a configure-to-order machine, and where the two disagree this page says so instead of choosing.

No discrete graphics on this build, and what that is good for

The build sheet records integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 and no discrete card. That is a deliberate configuration rather than an omission, and it is the right one for a surprising amount of workstation work: simulation and analysis queues, engineering data management, large compiles, batch processing and anything bound by cores, memory bandwidth and storage. What it is not suited to is CAD viewport work, GPU rendering or anything needing a certified professional driver. Lenovo publishes seven professional cards for this chassis and the double-width 75 W Slot 1 is free, so a card can be added later - though buying the machine with the card fitted is usually cheaper and keeps the whole unit under one warranty.

Expansion, and the one slot that matters

Lenovo publishes four PCIe slots on this chassis, but only Slot 1 is double-width and rated at 75 W - it is the graphics position, and on a single-GPU machine it is the one that decides what you can fit later. Slot 3 is an x16 connector wired electrically at x4, which suits a capture, storage or network card rather than a second graphics card. Slots 2 and 4 are PCIe 3.0 x1. This chassis takes up to three M.2 SSDs and has three internal bays, so storage growth need not consume the graphics slot. One caution Lenovo leaves open: it rates Slot 1 at 75 W while offering cards well above that, and it does not publish the supplementary power-cable arrangement, so a later GPU upgrade should be checked against the fitted power supply rather than assumed.

Where this machine sits in Lenovo's range today

Lenovo's specification book for this model is current-dated (February 04 2026) and carries no withdrawal marking, but the PSREF product page for it is titled with a (Withdrawn) suffix, and Lenovo has published a successor: the ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2, which moves to Intel Core Ultra Series 2 on the LGA1851 socket and the W880 chipset. That is a genuinely different platform, not a refresh, so specification copy does not carry across between them. We are telling you this because you will find the successor while comparing, and because a withdrawn model is often the better buy: the chassis, the warranty and the parts channel are unchanged, and the price usually is not. If long-term parts availability matters more than price for your deployment, say so and we will quote the current generation instead.

What Lenovo does not publish, and what we will not invent

There is no cooling or thermal section anywhere in Lenovo's book for this machine - no fan count, no airflow figure, no statement of what cooler a given processor needs. There are no acoustics. There is no total system power draw, only the power-supply rating. And the ISV Certifications section is a pointer to Lenovo's certification portal rather than a list, so this page names no certified application, however commonly such lists appear in workstation copy. If any of these decides your purchase, ask us and we will go to Lenovo for a written answer rather than estimate one here.

In the box, per the distributor build sheet and Lenovo PSREF:

• Lenovo ThinkStation P2 Tower workstation, built to the configuration above
• USB keyboard and mouse
• Power cord
• Quick start guide and safety documentation

Lenovo does not publish a carton contents list per part number, so this list reflects the distributor build sheet plus the items PSREF states ship with the machine. No monitor, no operating-system media and no software beyond the preloaded Windows 11 Pro are included. Rack rails are not available for this chassis - Lenovo publishes no rack-mount option for it at all. One thing to note while comparing the rows below: several builds in this range are documented by the distributor with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 cards, and no GeForce card of any kind appears in Lenovo's specification book for machine type 30FR, which lists professional cards only. We have printed both sources on each of those pages rather than resolve the difference ourselves; ask us to confirm the fitted card before ordering one of them.

Lenovo ThinkStation P2 Tower Ordering Information

• Lenovo PSREF specification book - ThinkStation P2 Tower (PDF)
• Lenovo support catalogue record for 30FR000BSG

PSREF is Lenovo's own Product Specifications Reference and is the authority on the chassis, the option lists and the base warranty terms. It publishes per machine type, so this part number does not appear inside the PDF - the machine-type binding comes from the support catalogue record in the second link, which returns Lenovo's official product name for 30FR000BSG. Lenovo publishes no separate datasheet PDF for this model; that URL returns a 404 and is deliberately not linked here.

Does this machine come with a three-year warranty?

We are not able to say that it does, so we are not saying it. The previous version of this page claimed three years; the distributor build sheet for this part number records no warranty term at all, and Lenovo publishes 1-year, 2-year and 3-year limited onsite service as the base options for machine type 30FR. Which one shipped depends on this unit's configuration record. Every machine SourceIT sells carries local Singapore warranty support and a GST invoice, we will confirm the exact Lenovo term before you order, and an onsite upgrade is almost always cheaper bought at the time of purchase than added afterwards.

How much memory can it take, and how many slots are free?

Lenovo publishes four DDR5 UDIMM slots to 128 GB for this machine type. This unit is fitted with 16 GB. How many modules that is, and therefore how many slots remain free, is not stated by either Lenovo or the distributor. Note the derating Lenovo publishes: four 32 GB modules run at 3600 MT/s rather than the platform's 4400. Ask us and we will confirm the module configuration before you order.

Can I add or upgrade the graphics card later?

Yes, within limits Lenovo does publish. Slot 1 is the only double-width position and it is rated at 75 W. Lenovo's stated maximum for this chassis is two RTX A2000 12 GB. What Lenovo does not publish is the supplementary PCIe power arrangement for cards above 75 W, so a later upgrade to a higher-wattage card should be checked against the fitted power supply rather than assumed. Send us the card you have in mind and we will check it against the book.

How many drives can it hold?

Lenovo publishes up to three M.2 2280 SSDs - two onboard and one on a PCIe adapter - plus three internal bays taking up to two 3.5-inch drives and one 2.5-inch. This unit ships with a single 512 GB NVMe SSD, so there is room to grow without replacing what is fitted.

Does it have Wi-Fi?

The build sheet does not say, so we cannot confirm it. Lenovo offers this machine type either with an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 card or with no WLAN at all, and the distributor build sheet for this part number is silent on the point. A tower workstation on a desk is usually wired, so this is often academic - but if you need wireless, ask us to confirm before ordering rather than assume it is fitted. The previous version of this page claimed Wi-Fi on machines whose build sheets never mentioned it, which is exactly the kind of thing we have removed.

Can it be rack-mounted?

No. Lenovo publishes no rack-mount configuration and no rail kit for this chassis - the word rack does not appear in its specification book at all. Lenovo's form-factor label is Tower (17L) and its published dimensions are 170 x 315.35 x 376 mm, up to 9.67 kg. If the machine has to go into a rack, tell us and we will quote a ThinkStation model whose own specification book publishes that option rather than improvise one here.

Is this model still current?

Not quite, and that is usually fine. Lenovo's specification book for it is dated February 04 2026 and carries no withdrawal marking, but the PSREF product page is titled with a (Withdrawn) suffix and a successor exists on a different platform. Nothing about the warranty, the parts channel or the support entitlement changes because of that. Where it matters is a long deployment horizon - if you expect to be buying matching units in three years, ask us to quote the current generation instead.
