Lenovo P360 PC Specifications and BIOS Settings
General Specifications
-
Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Tower
-
Intel® Core™ i5-12500 or Intel® Core™ i5-12600
Controller Support
The Lenovo P360 can have problems because of the older version of INtime that comes with A3200. Contact Global Technical Support for instructions on how to manually apply a custom INtime 7 upgrade so that this PC works with A3200.
Windows Support
- A3200 was tested to make sure that it works with Windows 10 when used with Lenovo P360. Windows 11 is not supported for A3200.
- You must disable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and all of the features that depend on it, such as BitLocker and drive encryption, so that A3200 will have good real-time performance.
Configuration Tested by Aerotech
The list that follows includes information that you should know when you purchase a Lenovo P360 PC.
-
Intel® 12th generation processors can have Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores). Aerotech recommends the i5 processor that only has P-cores because the E-cores do not have satisfactory real-time performance.
-
If you select an i5, i7, or i9 processor with E-cores, you must disable the E-cores in the BIOS so that the PC will work with A3200.
-
Aerotech recommends the i5-12500 and i5-12600 because they only have P-cores and have good real-time performance.
-
-
You can select a different amount of RAM. But, make sure that you order two RAM sticks so that you can use both CPU memory channels.
- You can customize the size of your SSD.
