Lenovo 4X97A12100 ST50 DP to HDMI Dongle KIT

Lenovo 4X97A12100 ST50 DisplayPort to HDMI Dongle Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A12100 is a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter kit purpose-built for the ThinkSystem ST50 server platform. The ST50 ships with a DisplayPort video output as its native interface — useful in environments standardized on DP monitors, but a friction point wherever only HDMI displays are available. This dongle eliminates the need for a third-party adapter by providing a validated, system-matched solution. If you're deploying an ST50 in a small office, light industrial, or edge compute environment where the local display is HDMI-only — a consumer monitor, a KVM console, or a projector — the 4X97A12100 is the correct path rather than an unvalidated off-shelf cable.

Compatibility

Designed for the Lenovo ThinkSystem ST50 tower server. The kit is sold as a system-specific option, meaning it is matched to the ST50's DisplayPort output and validated against that platform's firmware and display stack. It is not a universal DP-to-HDMI adapter — do not assume compatibility with other ThinkSystem or ThinkStation models without verifying against Lenovo's options catalog for those platforms. If you are working with a different server or workstation in your rack environment, confirm the correct dongle part number for that specific system before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is plug-and-play: connect the DisplayPort end to the ST50's rear video output, and connect your HDMI display cable to the dongle's HDMI port. No drivers are required. The kit ships in retail-style packaging sized at 12.00 x 10.00 x 0.50 in and weighs 0.50 lb — easy to include with a server shipment or stock as a spare in a KVM or console management toolkit. No tools, torque specs, or special wiring are needed.
