Lenovo 4X97A59793 SR630 V2 8X2.5 Sas/sata BP Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97A59793 SR630 V2 8x2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A59793 is a factory-new SAS/SATA backplane cable kit designed specifically for the ThinkSystem SR630 V2 server configured with an 8x2.5" drive bay backplane. If you are expanding storage or replacing damaged cabling in an SR630 V2 chassis, this kit supplies the correct signal routing between the backplane and the system board or storage controller — eliminating the guesswork of sourcing aftermarket cables that may not seat correctly or meet Lenovo's signal-integrity requirements. Weighing 1.60 lb and measuring 7.00 x 6.00 x 3.00 in, the kit is sized to route cleanly within the SR630 V2's cable management envelope without forcing bends that degrade SAS/SATA signal quality over time.

Compatibility

This cable kit is engineered for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 (the second-generation 1U two-socket rack server). It targets specifically the 8x2.5" SAS/SATA backplane configuration — not the NVMe-only or 16x2.5" variants. Before ordering, confirm your SR630 V2 chassis was factory-configured or field-upgraded to the 8x2.5" SAS/SATA backplane; NVMe backplane builds use different cable assemblies and this kit will not apply. If you are unsure which backplane your chassis shipped with, the order code printed on the backplane itself or the original server configuration record will confirm it. For broader server components and accessories, verify the exact SR630 generation — SR630 (first generation) uses a different physical layout and is not compatible with 4X97A59793.

Installation Notes

Route cables only after the server is fully powered down and disconnected from AC. SAS/SATA backplane connectors on the SR630 V2 are keyed, but confirm connector orientation before seating to avoid bent pins — a misaligned SATA connector in particular will not always resist insertion. Follow Lenovo's published cable routing diagrams for the 8x2.5" backplane configuration; deviating from the documented path can result in cables contacting the fan module or obstructing airflow, both of which affect long-term drive and system reliability. No special tooling beyond standard server hand tools is required for installation.
