Lenovo 4X97A59981 SR630 V2 4X3.5 Anybay BP Cable KIT V2

Lenovo 4X97A59981 SR630 V2 4x3.5 Anybay Backplane Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A59981 is a factory cable kit designed to connect the 4x3.5-inch Anybay backplane in the ThinkSystem SR630 V2 rack server. Where a standard SAS/SATA cable assembly won't align with the Anybay backplane's NVMe-plus-SAS hybrid signal routing, this kit provides the exact harness geometry and connector keying the SR630 V2 expects — keeping storage bring-up straightforward and avoiding improvised cabling that can introduce signal integrity issues or void service agreements. Weighing 2.0 lb, the 4X97A59981 is a direct replacement or expansion cable set for integrators commissioning or servicing SR630 V2 deployments.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 1U rack server configured with the 4x3.5-inch Anybay backplane option. The Anybay backplane supports both NVMe and SAS/SATA drives on the same bay, so the cable kit must match that dual-protocol topology — a generic SAS cable will not cover the NVMe lanes. Confirm your SR630 V2 storage configuration uses the 4x3.5-inch Anybay backplane before ordering; SR630 V2 units with 8x2.5-inch or other backplane variants require different cable assemblies. This kit is not compatible with the original SR630 (V1) or other ThinkSystem rack server models.

Installation Notes

Route cables according to the SR630 V2 server maintenance documentation to avoid pinching harnesses against the chassis wall during drive cage reassembly. The Anybay backplane has separate NVMe and SAS/SATA connectors — verify each cable end seats fully before powering on, as a partially seated NVMe connector will prevent drive enumeration without triggering an obvious fault LED on some firmware revisions. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the cable assembly inside the chassis.
