Description

Lenovo 4X97A59805 SR650 V2 3.5" Front Backplane Anybay Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A59805 is a factory-new cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR650 V2 server, providing the backplane-to-controller cabling required when configuring 3.5" drive bays with Anybay backplane support. If you are installing or replacing drives in an SR650 V2 and need to wire the front 3.5" backplane to an Anybay-capable storage controller, this is the correct kit — using an incorrect or mismatched cable assembly risks signal integrity and may prevent the backplane from being recognized by the system. Sourced direct from Lenovo's distribution channel, factory-new with no grey-market or parallel-import risk.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 rack server. Compatible with 3.5" front drive bay configurations using an Anybay backplane. The Anybay architecture supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives from a single backplane — this cable kit enables that multi-protocol flexibility. Verify your SR650 V2 chassis generation and backplane part number against Lenovo's SR650 V2 server accessory compatibility matrix before ordering; SR650 (Gen 1) and SR650 V3 use different cable routing and backplane connectors and are not interchangeable with this kit.

Installation Notes

Route the cable assembly from the front 3.5" Anybay backplane to the designated controller or system board connector per the SR650 V2 cable management guide. Incorrect seating of either connector end can cause intermittent drive detection failures. Ensure the server is fully powered down and depressurized before handling internal cable assemblies. No special tooling is specified for this kit beyond standard ESD precautions and a flat-head screwdriver for cable retention clips where applicable.
