Lenovo 4X97A11108 VGA to DVI Adapter Cable

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A11108 is a VGA-to-DVI adapter cable designed for connecting ThinkSystem servers to DVI-input displays — a straightforward solution for data center or server room deployments where a monitor or KVM console accepts DVI but the server outputs VGA. Having the right cable on hand at commissioning avoids last-minute scrambles when racking and cabling Lenovo ThinkSystem servers; this factory-new unit ships ready to install. The 4X97A11108 weighs 0.25 lb and packages in a compact 8 × 5 × 0.5 in box, making it easy to stock alongside other server accessories.

Compatibility

This cable is sourced for use with Lenovo ThinkSystem rack and tower servers that provide a VGA video output — including platforms such as the SR630, SR650, SR850, and ST550 series. Confirm your specific server model's VGA port availability and your display's DVI input type (DVI-D, DVI-I, or DVI-A) before ordering; DVI-D displays will not accept an analog-only signal, so match connector types to your monitor. For environments running a KVM switch with DVI inputs, this cable bridges the server's VGA output to the KVM without requiring a separate adapter dongle.

Installation Notes

No tools required — both connectors are hand-tightened. Seat the VGA connector fully and tighten the thumbscrews finger-tight to prevent signal dropout from a loose fit. Route the cable clear of high-heat airflow paths inside the rack to preserve signal integrity over time.
