Professional workstation for CAD and rendering
The Lenovo ThinkStation P520 is a mid-tower workstation built for professional design, content creation, rendering and engineering tasks. It runs on an Intel Xeon W-2145 8-core processor at 3.7GHz with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A 512GB NVMe drive provides fast access to applications and project files. The NVIDIA Quadro P4000 graphics card supports multi-display setups and professional visual workloads.
Suits professionals needing certified drivers
This system suits engineers, designers and creators who rely on certified Quadro drivers and error-correcting memory for stability in CAD, rendering and data-heavy applications. The single-socket design limits CPU expansion to the installed 8-core processor. Buyers who need dual-socket scalability or higher GPU compute performance for simulation workloads should look at alternative configurations.
128GB DDR4 ECC registered memory capacity
The workstation includes 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight slots. This capacity and memory type directly determine the scale of datasets and multitasking headroom available for professional applications. Verify that your software workflow benefits from ECC registered modules before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Does the ThinkStation P520 require a separate display to use the Quadro P4000 graphics?
Yes, the Quadro P4000 is an add-in card that drives external monitors; the mid-tower chassis has no built-in screen, so you must connect at least one display via the card's outputs.
Can the existing 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory stay installed if I add more modules later?
The system has eight DDR4 slots and currently uses 128 GB; additional DDR4 ECC registered modules can populate the remaining slots without removing the installed memory.
How can I verify the Xeon W-2145 is running at its 3.70 GHz base speed after setup?
Open Task Manager's Performance tab or a utility such as CPU-Z; the reported base clock should show 3.70 GHz for the 8-core Xeon W-2145 under normal load.
