Lenovo 4X97A59984 SR630 V2 10 Anybay BP NVME Cable KIT V2

Lenovo 4X97A59984 SR630 V2 10 Anybay Backplane NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A59984 is a factory-new NVMe cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR630 V2 server configured with a 10-drive Anybay backplane. If you're adding NVMe drives to an SR630 V2 or completing a partially cabled chassis, this kit supplies the signal routing between the backplane and the system board — without it, installed NVMe drives simply won't be recognized. The 4X97A59984 is a targeted solution for storage expansion or initial build-out where the NVMe cable run was not included in the base server configuration.

Compatibility

This cable kit is designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 server platform equipped with the 10-drive Anybay backplane. The Anybay backplane supports mixed SAS/SATA/NVMe drive populations; this kit addresses the NVMe signal paths specifically. It is not interchangeable with SR630 (Gen 1), SR650, SR650 V2, or other ThinkSystem platforms — backplane pinouts and cable routing differ across generations and form factors. Verify your chassis build sheet or server order documentation confirms the 10-bay Anybay backplane before ordering. For NVR storage builds using Lenovo rack servers as the compute and storage backbone, confirm the backplane variant matches this kit.

Installation Notes

The kit ships at 0.52 lb with overall package dimensions of 11.40 x 9.60 x 2.50 in — sized for the cable bundle and protective packaging. Installation requires partial disassembly of the SR630 V2 chassis to route cables between the Anybay backplane connector and the corresponding NVMe ports on the system board or riser. Follow Lenovo's field service documentation for the SR630 V2 to confirm connector orientation and cable management clip locations before seating connectors. Incorrect seating of NVMe signal cables can result in drives not being detected at POST. No special tooling beyond standard server maintenance equipment is required, but torque specifications and cable retention clip engagement should be verified per the Lenovo Hardware Maintenance Guide for this platform.
