Lenovo ThinkStation P5 TWR Xeon w3-2423 /32GB /512GB /RTXA2000 (
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Lenovo ThinkStation P5 Tower Workstation, Xeon w3-2423 6C / 32 GB / RTX A2000 12 GB (30GA0029SG) - Singapore Local Warranty
A single-socket Xeon w workstation with ECC memory throughout
The ThinkStation P5 is Lenovo's Intel Xeon w tower: one socket on the W790 chipset, eight DIMM slots across four memory channels to 512 GB of registered ECC memory, and six PCIe slots. This build is a Xeon w3-2423 with 32 GB of DDR5-4800 RDIMM ECC and an NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB, preloaded with Windows 11 Pro for Workstations.
One memory module, and what that means
The distributor build sheet for this part number states 1 x 32GB RDIMM DDR5-4800 ECC - a single module in an eight-slot, four-channel machine. That runs the memory in single-channel mode, which is the one specification on this page most likely to disappoint. A 4 x 8 GB or 4 x 16 GB build of similar capacity would fill all four channels and be substantially faster on memory-bound work. If you are buying this machine for simulation, rendering or large datasets, ask us to requote it with four modules before you order.
Where the P5 sits between the P3 Tower and the P8
The P5 takes registered ECC memory and Xeon w processors, which the Core-based P3 Tower does not. Against the P8 it gives up a good deal: four memory channels rather than eight, six PCIe slots rather than seven, two graphics cards rather than three, and Gigabit Ethernet onboard where the P8 fits 10 Gigabit as standard. Lenovo also publishes no rack-mount option for the P5 and no AMD Radeon PRO card for it at all.
Bought and supported in Singapore
We supply, invoice and support this workstation locally. This page claims no warranty duration because the distributor build sheet for this part number records none; the warranty section below sets out what Lenovo publishes as the base terms for the machine type, and we will confirm the configured term in writing with your quotation.

Chassis and Platform — From Lenovo PSREF
| Lenovo product name | ThinkStation P5 |
| Machine type | 30GA |
| Withdrawal status | not marked withdrawn in the PSREF book. Note that Lenovo has since published a ThinkStation P5 Gen 2 (Intel Xeon 600 Series, W890 chipset, socket FCLGA4710, DDR5-6400, up to 48 cores), so buyers researching the P5 will find a newer machine |
| Processor family | Intel Xeon w, one socket, FCLGA4677 on the W790 chipset |
| A quirk in Lenovo's own book | the summary line says up to 24 cores while the option list below it includes the 26-core w7-2595X. Both are printed; the summary line looks stale |
| Memory type | DDR5-4800 RDIMM ECC |

Compatibility & Fit
Why this page carries two specification tables
Lenovo's PSREF specification book is published per machine type, and it lists the processor, graphics, memory, storage, wireless card and warranty term as options the platform supports rather than as facts about any one part number. Lenovo's per-part-number pages are not readable by any automated tool. So this page keeps the two sources visibly apart: the build-sheet table states what our distributor records for this exact part number, and the PSREF table states what Lenovo publishes for the machine type. Where the two disagree we print both and say so rather than choosing for you, and anything neither source states is marked not stated rather than estimated.
Warranty on this configuration
Lenovo's published base warranty options for this machine type are 1-year, 2-year and 3-year limited onsite service. The distributor build sheet for this part number states no warranty term at all, so this page makes no duration claim. An earlier version of this listing carried "3 Years Local Warranty" in its heading with nothing behind it. Ask us to confirm the term on the quotation and we will put it in writing.
The graphics card, named the way Lenovo names it
The build sheet documents an NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB - an Ampere-generation card. Lenovo treats RTX A2000 and RTX 2000 Ada Generation as two different products with different architectures and different memory, so the two names are not interchangeable on a quotation. Lenovo's published ceiling for this machine type is up to two RTX 5000 Ada Generation or two RTX A6000; we did not resolve the full per-card option list, so ask us before assuming a particular card fits.
This listing is at zero stock, and there are current alternatives
This part number is not currently in stock. Lenovo has not marked the ThinkStation P5 withdrawn, and we hold two current P5 configurations - both with a second 2 TB drive - linked in the ordering table below. Lenovo has also since published a ThinkStation P5 Gen 2 on a newer Xeon platform. Tell us the workload and we will tell you which of the three is the right buy rather than simply selling you the one on the shelf.
What Lenovo does not publish for any ThinkStation
There is no cooling or thermal section in the P5 book, no acoustic data, no total system power draw, no per-configuration power-supply sizing rule and no DIMM population diagram. Lenovo also names no ISV-certified application, carrying only a reference link. This page therefore makes no claim on any of those points. Where you need one for a tender or a facilities sign-off, ask us and we will get it from Lenovo in writing.
Package Contents & ThinkStation Ordering Information
In the box, per the distributor build sheet and Lenovo PSREF:
- Lenovo ThinkStation P5 tower workstation, built to the configuration above

Datasheet & Downloads
Lenovo's PSREF specification book is the authoritative source for the chassis and platform. Lenovo Press covers no ThinkStation except the PGX, so no lifecycle document exists for this machine.
Frequently Asked Questions — Lenovo ThinkStation P5
Should I buy this with one memory module?
Probably not. The build sheet records a single 32 GB module in a machine with eight slots across four channels, so the memory runs in single-channel mode. For the same money or close to it, four smaller modules will fill every channel and be significantly faster on anything memory-bound. Ask us to requote it.
How many graphics cards will the P5 take?
Lenovo publishes up to two RTX 5000 Ada Generation or two RTX A6000 - half what the P8 takes. The RTX 6000 Ada Generation is not offered on this machine at all.
Can I fit an AMD Radeon PRO card?
Not on a P5. No AMD Radeon PRO card of any kind appears in Lenovo's P5 book. If you need a Radeon PRO W6400 or W7900, the machine is the ThinkStation P8.
Does it have 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
Not onboard. Lenovo fits a single Intel I219-LM Gigabit port and 10 Gigabit is an add-in card, which costs you one of the six PCIe slots. The P8 by contrast has 10 Gigabit onboard as standard.
Can it be rack mounted?
Lenovo publishes no rack-mount option for the P5. The P8 is 4U rack-mountable, though its rail kit is a separate item.
Is there a newer P5?
Yes. Lenovo has published a ThinkStation P5 Gen 2 on the Intel Xeon 600 Series with the W890 chipset, socket FCLGA4710 and DDR5-6400, going to 48 cores. This machine is not marked withdrawn, but if you are specifying a fleet for the next few years it is worth asking us about the Gen 2.
What cooling does it use?
Lenovo publishes no cooling, thermal or acoustic data for the P5, so none is stated here. Ask us if it matters for the room and we will get a figure from Lenovo.
Which applications is it certified for?
Lenovo names none. The specification book gives only a reference link to its workstation ISV certification site, so this page claims certification for no software.
