Thermal Design: Elegant & Efficient

Patented tri-channel cooling with just 3 system fans – as opposed to 10 that other workstations typically rely on — and a direct cooling air baffle directs fresh air into the CPU and memory. ThinkStation P500 delivers new technologies and design to keep your workstation cool and quiet.

Optional Flex Module

The innovative Flex Module lets you customize I/O ports, so you add only what you need. Using the 5.25" bays, you can mix and match components including an ultraslim ODD, 29-in-1 media card reader, Firewire, and eSATA.

Optional Flex Connector

The Flex Connector is a mezzanine card that fits into the motherboard and allows for expanded storage and I/O, without sacrificing the use of rear PCI. It supports SATA/SAS/PCIe advanced RAID solution. ThinkStation P500 includes one available connector. 

Improved Design & Functionality

We've redesigned our ThinkStations. No more bulky handles, just a clean-looking, functional design. Integrated handles make it easier to carry and move they systems, or place into a rack.

ISV-Certification

ThinkStation P500 is certified to run key professional independent software vendor (ISV) applications, including Adobe, Autodesk®, Dassault, PTC, SolidWorks, Avid, and Siemens. Additionally, this workstation includes error correcting code (ECC) memory, which drastically reduces the possibility of memory-related errors and critical data loss. 

Multiple Monitor Display

Maximize productivity with independent display support for up to three independent monitors using Mosaic Mode with integrated Intel® graphics. Plus, connect to up to 16 independent monitors with 1.2 stream cloning mode.

Fast Data Transfer

With USB 3.0 ports, you can move data quickly between your workstation and other devices. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 enables file transfer up to 10 times faster than previous USB technologies, which allows for lightning-fast copying of large media files, as well as seamless connections between audio- and video-related devices. Backward-compatible with USB 2.0 devices.

Modular Components & Tool-Free Expandability

Innovative modular design makes tool-less upgrades a snap, especially with Flex Trays for fully configurable storage and interchangeable power supplies and graphics cards — especially beneficial when working with multiple workstations.

Unmatched Reliability

The ThinkStation P500 continues the long legacy of unmatched reliability touted by Lenovo single and dual processor workstations. It's built with the same efficient thermal design and employs a cooling process that makes ThinkStation workstations stand out from the competition.

Green Leadership

ThinkStation P500 tower is GREENGUARD® certified and features a fixed power supply unit (PSU) — with a choice of either 650W / 92% efficient or 490W / 90% efficient.
