Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for users on how to

optimally configure the system storage in the ThinkStation P3 series platform

to ensure proper functionality.

Below is a table showing the drive type support of each system in the P3

series:

*Max quantity varies by configuration. See Section 1 & Section 4 for more

information.

The following sections give detailed instructions on the installation of M.2

NVMe and SATA drives, as well as provide part numbers for required

components needed for proper installation.

P3 Tower, P3 Ultra, and P3 Tiny support RAID levels 0 & 1 for onboard NVMe

drives. P3 Tower can support levels 0, 1, 5, & 10 for SATA drives depending

on system configuration. RAID configurations and setup instructions are

discussed in Section 6 and Section 7.

Section 1 –Installing NVMe Devices in

P3 Tower

M.2 NVMe devices can be installed into the following locations on the

ThinkStation P3 Tower motherboard below. The M.2 NVMe drives may use the

dedicated PCIe Gen 4 capable onboard M.2 slots or use a Gen 3 PCIe M.2

Add-In Card (AIC) in PCIe Slot 3. P3 Tower supports up to two double-sided

4TB M.2 2280 drives in the onboard slots and up to one single-sided 2TB M.2

2280 in the AIC. The P3 chassis has the ability to mount M.2 22110 and M.2

2242 drives, however at the time of this writing, all Lenovo supported M.2

drives for P3 Tower are 2280.

Figure 2 - P3 Tower Chassis with NVMe Callouts

For M.2 NVMe drives in the onboard M.2 slots:

1. Remove the film that covers the thermal pad on the bracket, if any.

Then, install the M.2 solid-state drive by sliding the drive in the bracket.

2. Remove the film that covers the thermal pad at the bottom of the heat

sink, if any. Then, install the heat sink onto the M.2 drive in the bracket.

3. If not already present, install the M.2 drive bracket into the system.

4. Install the heat sink with the bracket into the system.

5. Insert the stopper.

Note: P3 Tower systems come equipped with only the necessary onboard M.2

parts required for the configuration when it was originally ordered from Lenovo.

Adding an M.2 drive to an open onboard slot requires the option kit

4XF1C39743, which includes the heatsink assembly and stopper seen in the

instructions above. For supported double-sided 4TB M.2 drives, FRU

5F10U94103 is needed instead.

For M.2 NVMe drives installed in the PCIe Add-in Card (AIC):

1. Ensure that a thermal pad is placed in position on the M.2 solid-state

drive PCIe adapter.

2. Insert the new M.2 solid-state drive into the M.2 slot. Then, insert the

plug of the retention latch into the hole to secure the new drive.

3. Position the heat sink on the M.2 solid-state drive PCIe adapter. Ensure

that the two mounting studs in the heat sink are aligned with the holes in

the M.2 solid-state drive PCIe adapter. Then, push the mounting studs

downward to secure the heat sink to the adapter.

Note: The M.2 NVMe Add-in Card’s option part number is 4XH0L08578.

This kit will include the add-in card, thermal pad, and heatsink.

Section 2 –Installing NVMe Devices in

P3 Ultra

M.2 NVMe devices can be installed into the following locations on the

ThinkStation P3 Ultra motherboard below. Both onboard M.2 NVMe slots are

PCIe Gen 4 capable and can each support up to a double-sided 4TB M.2 2280

drives. When opening the chassis, the NVMe slots are on the side of the

motherboard opposite the CPU, beneath their own dedicated heatsink. The

steps to access the M.2 slots are outlined in this section.
