FAQs

What is the maximum amount of RAM this workstation can support?

This workstation supports a maximum of 256 GB of internal memory across its 4 DIMM slots.

Does this workstation have Wi-Fi capabilities?

No, this specific model does not come with integrated Wi-Fi. You will need a separate Wi-Fi adapter or connect via Ethernet.

Can I add a dedicated graphics card to this workstation?

While this model comes with integrated Intel Graphics, it is a workstation chassis designed to potentially accommodate discrete graphics cards. However, compatibility should be verified with Lenovo's specifications or by consulting a professional.

What is the purpose of the Neural Processing Unit (NPU)?

The NPU (Intel AI Boost) is designed to accelerate AI-specific tasks and machine learning workloads, improving performance and efficiency for AI-powered applications and features like Windows Studio effects.

How do I perform a clean external dusting?

Turn off and unplug the workstation. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. For vents, use compressed air in short bursts to remove dust without forcing it deeper into the system.

What version of Windows is installed?

The workstation comes with Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit, in German language.

What type of SSD interface does it use?

It uses an M.2 NVMe SSD with a PCIe 4.0 interface for high-speed data transfer.

Troubleshooting

Workstation does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the workstation and a working wall outlet. Check if the power supply switch on the back of the unit is in the 'on' position.

Display is blank or shows no signal

Verify that the monitor cable is securely connected to both the workstation and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source. Try a different display cable or port if available.

Poor performance or system freezing

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for high CPU or memory usage. Ensure the system is free of dust buildup, especially around fans and vents. Update drivers and operating system.

Network connectivity issues

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the workstation and the router/switch. Check the network adapter status in Windows. Try restarting your router and modem.
