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.

Section 2 – Power Ratings for Key System
Components
In order to fully understand the power capabilities of the ThinkStation P340
platforms, it’s important to understand the defined power ratings for the various
internal components used within the system. Figure 2 below describes the power
ratings for the various CPUs supported on the P340.

Section 3 – P340 Tower Power Configurations
P340 Tower supports 300W and 500W power supplies, which allows customers to
tailor their system to better meet the requirements of the components they intend
to support.
500 Watt PSU
• Single 6+2 pin PCIe auxiliary power drop.
• Provides single dedicated 12V rail.
• Some supported GPU configurations might
require additional cabling (See Appendix)

P340 Tower Power Supply Configuration Notes:
• For configurations that are not listed above but appear to be feasible,
please work with the Technical Solutions Team to have the
configuration validated/vetted.
• Officially supported configurations could still be limited by additional factors
not defined within this document.
• Some supported GPU/add-in-card configurations might require additional
cabling to be supported. See Appendix.
• The RTX5000 card requires a unique 8-pin to 8+6pin dongle solution, FRU
5C10U58155. See Appendix.
• Use of full-length graphics cards, such as RTX5000, requires that the front
chassis mechanical bracket to be removed to be able to install the card
efficiently. The two lower bracket screws secure the bracket to the rear of
the GPU and the top screw anchors the whole assembly to the chassis. See
Figure 4 below.
