Lenovo P360 PC Specifications and BIOS Settings

General Specifications

Automation1 2.7 and newer: The Lenovo P360 requires INtime 7, which is automatically installed by the Automation1 iSMC installer if INtime is not currently on the PC.
Automation1 2.6 and older: The Lenovo P360 can have problems because of the version of INtime that comes with Automation1 2.6 and older. Contact Global Technical Support for instructions on how to manually apply a custom INtime 7 upgrade so that this PC works with Automation1.

Automation1 was tested to make sure that it works with Windows 10 and Windows 11 when used with Lenovo P360.
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.

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 Automation1.
- 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.
Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 has better real-time performance than a dedicated graphics card.
