Lenovo 4X97A59813 SR650 V2 2.5 Front BP3 Sas/sata CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A59813 SR650 V2 2.5" Front Backplane 3 SAS/SATA Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A59813 is a factory-matched SAS/SATA cable kit for the ThinkSystem SR650 V2 server's 2.5" front drive backplane 3 (BP3) position. When expanding or replacing the drive backplane in an SR650 V2, the signal path between the backplane and the RAID/HBA controller requires a precisely routed, length-correct cable assembly — using generic cabling risks signal integrity issues or physical interference with adjacent components. The 4X97A59813 eliminates that risk by providing the exact Lenovo-specified assembly for this slot configuration.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 rack server platform. This kit targets the front 2.5" drive bay BP3 position — it is not interchangeable with BP1 or BP2 cable assemblies, nor with SR650 (Gen 1) or other ThinkSystem models such as the SR630 V2 or SR850 V2. Verify your server's backplane map against the SR650 V2 server accessories compatibility matrix before ordering; the BP position number is printed on the backplane PCB silkscreen. Interface support covers both SAS and SATA drive populations, so the same kit works whether the bay is loaded with SAS HDDs, SATA SSDs, or a mixed configuration.

Installation Notes

Routed cable length and connector orientation are fixed by the assembly design — do not force the connectors or attempt to re-route the cable outside the SR650 V2 chassis cable path. Refer to the SR650 V2 cable management guide for the correct strain-relief clip positions. The kit measures 9.50 × 6.00 × 2.30 in and weighs 0.60 lb packaged. No additional tools beyond standard server-maintenance hand tools are required for installation.
