Overview
The ThinkStation P340 Tower and Small Form Factor platforms are the new
series of desktop workstations that replace the P330 series. The power supplies
in both the Tower and SFF workstations have been significantly upgraded with the
new platforms, as shown below:
P330 Tower PSU options: 250W and 400W
P340 Tower PSU options: 300W and 500W
P330 SFF PSU options: 210W and 260W
P340 SFF PSU options: 310W and 380W
These higher wattage power supplies allow the P340 platform to support an
expanded configuration of system components -- notably the CPUs, GPUs, and
other add-in cards.
The purpose of this document is to highlight these changes so that users can
make informed decisions regarding which power supply to configure in the system
and which add-in cards can be officially supported.

Section 1 – Key Architectural Design
The P340 utilizes a standardized traditional approach to powering system
components. All onboard components and add-in cards are powered through
direct cable connections from the power supply. The diagrams in Figure 1 show a
high-level design on how the power supply directly attaches to the motherboard
and add-in cards.
