Lenovo 4X97A59980 SR630 V2 SAS/SATA Backplane Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A59980 is a SAS/SATA backplane cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR630 V2 server configured with a 4x3.5-inch drive bay backplane. This kit provides the internal cabling path between the storage controller and the 3.5-inch drive backplane — the precise routing hardware needed when adding, replacing, or reconfiguring storage connectivity in the SR630 V2 chassis. If the original cables are damaged, missing from a refurbished unit, or if you're converting the server to a different drive-count configuration, the 4X97A59980 is the direct replacement. It supports both SAS and SATA interfaces, covering the full range of enterprise HDD, SSD, and mixed-media drive configurations that slot into the 3.5-inch bays.

Compatibility

This cable kit is specific to the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 server platform in the 4x3.5-inch large-form-factor drive bay configuration. It is not interchangeable with the 8x2.5-inch SFF backplane variant or the SR630 (V1) chassis — confirm your server's bay count and generation before ordering. Compatible with SAS and SATA storage devices installed in server storage accessories and drive bay configurations supported by the SR630 V2 platform. Verify against your server's configuration guide or bill of materials if the chassis was purchased without storage pre-installed.

Installation Notes

Cable routing in the SR630 V2 chassis is position-specific — connectors are keyed and labeled to match backplane ports. Reference the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 Hardware Maintenance Guide for the correct routing path before installation; improper seating can prevent drive detection at POST. The kit measures 9.70 x 6.30 x 2.20 inches and weighs 0.60 lb, consistent with a multi-cable assembly. Standard Torx or Phillips screwdrivers may be required to remove cable retention clips depending on chassis revision — no specialty tooling beyond standard server hand tools is expected.
