Lenovo P340 PC Specifications and BIOS Settings
General Specifications
- Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower
- Intel® Core™ i7-10700K or Intel® Core™ i5-10400
Controller Support
The Lenovo P340 can be used with any version of Automation1.
Windows Support
- Automation1 was tested to make sure that it works with Windows 10 and Windows 11 when used with Lenovo P340.
- Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is enabled by default on Windows 11 configurations and is also common on Windows 10 configurations. You must disable TPM and all of the features that depend on it, such as BitLocker and drive encryption, so that Automation1 will have good real-time performance.
IMPORTANT: If you are using Windows 11, INtime 7 is recommended because Aerotech completed all Windows 11 testing with INtime 7. For Automation1 2.7 and newer, INtime 7 is automatically installed by the Automation1 iSMC installer if INtime is not on the PC.
