Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Workstation i7-13700 /32GB /512GB+2TB /RTX2000

General

This Configuration — From the Distributor Build Sheet for 30GS00HBSG

Chassis and Platform — From Lenovo PSREF, ThinkStation P3 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 P3 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 30GS00HBSG 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.

The graphics note - the two sources disagree and we are not guessing

This listing's build sheet says NVIDIA RTX A1000 8 GB. The store title and the previous body copy said RTX 2000. Those are different cards: the RTX A1000 is a 50 W single-slot Ampere part with 8 GB, and Lenovo's only published RTX 2000 for this machine type is the RTX 2000 Ada Generation 16 GB, a 70 W dual-slot card. There is a further reason to be careful here: the sibling listing 30GS00HASG carries an identical build sheet - same processor, same memory, same drives, same RTX A1000 8 GB - and sells for less than this one. Either this unit is genuinely the better-specified machine and its build sheet was pasted from the cheaper one, or the title is wrong. We would rather tell you that plainly than print a card we cannot stand behind. Ask us and we will confirm the fitted card against the distributor's price file before you commit.

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 also takes up to three M.2 SSDs and up to four drive bays, so storage expansion does not have to consume a PCIe 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 (November 28 2025) 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 P3 Tower Gen 2, machine type 30HT, 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 P3 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.

Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tower Ordering Information

• Lenovo PSREF specification book - ThinkStation P3 Tower (PDF)
• Lenovo support catalogue record for 30GS00HBSG

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 30GS00HBSG. Lenovo publishes no separate datasheet PDF for this model; that URL returns a 404 and is deliberately not linked here.

Is this really a three-year warranty?

Yes, as configured - and it is better than Lenovo's base term, not equal to it. The build sheet records 3 Year Premier Support. Lenovo's published base options for machine type 30GS are 1-year, 2-year and 3-year limited onsite service, and Premier Support appears nowhere in that list, so it is a configured service level rather than the standard entitlement. Practically that means three years of onsite cover with Lenovo's advanced support routing. We will confirm the entitlement in writing with your quotation.

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 32 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.

Which graphics card is actually in this machine?

We do not know yet, and we would rather tell you. The build sheet says NVIDIA RTX A1000 8 GB; the title says RTX 2000. A near-identical sibling listing built on the RTX A1000 sells for less than this one, which suggests the build sheet here was pasted from that cheaper machine - but that is inference, not evidence, and this page does not publish inference as specification. Ask us before ordering and we will confirm the fitted card against the distributor's price file in writing.

What is the 2 TB drive - is it a second SSD?

No. It is a mechanical hard disk. The build sheet is specific: a 2 TB 7200 rpm 3.5-inch SATA drive alongside the 512 GB NVMe SSD. That is a deliberate and sensible pairing for workstation use - Windows and applications on the fast NVMe drive, project files and archives on cheap capacity - but it is not 512 GB of solid-state storage and it should not be read that way. This chassis takes up to three M.2 SSDs, so an all-flash build is possible if you would rather have that.

Does it have Wi-Fi?

Yes. The build sheet records Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211, 802.11ax 2x2 with Bluetooth 5.1 and vPro. Lenovo publishes exactly one wireless option for this machine type, so there is no ambiguity about which card that is.

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 (27L) and its published dimensions are 180 x 370 x 415 mm, 13.61 kg in maximum configuration. 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 November 28 2025 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.
