Linux Installation

Installation of Fedora 14 on a ThinkPad W520

Power Adapter

The W520 comes with a special 170W AC adapter (P/N 0A36227) that is currently not shipped with any other Thinkpad. Note that it is different from the W700 170W AC adapter (P/N 41R4421). The W520 AC adapter is larger but lighter than the W510 135W AC adapter.

All newer (20V) Thinkpad AC adapters have a compatible plug with the W520, but not all of them will work due to power constraints. Some work but the W520 will reduce throttle its CPU/GPU. The following table shows which AC adapters can be used:

Marketing P/N	Rated power	Works on W520	Full speed	Comment
0A36227	170W	yes	yes	Official AC adapter for W520
41R4421	170W	no	no	Official AC adapter for W700, different plug diameter
55Y9317	135W	unknown	unknown	Official AC adapter for W510, should work
Various	90W	unknown	unknown	Should work with reduced performance
Various	65W	no	no	Does not work

Help needed

Please add any AC adapter compatibility information that you can personally confirm.
