Description

Lenovo 4X97A59988 SR630 V2 Gen4 Retimer Adapter Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A59988 is a factory-new retimer adapter cable kit designed for PCIe Gen4 signal conditioning in the ThinkSystem SR630 V2 server platform. Retimer adapters are required when PCIe Gen4 traces exceed the signal integrity threshold for direct board-to-board routing — the kit provides the cabling and adapter hardware needed to maintain compliant eye diagrams at Gen4 speeds without requalifying the backplane layout. If you are expanding storage or adding a Gen4 adapter card in an SR630 V2 configuration that requires a retimer path, 4X97A59988 is the Lenovo-specified solution for that slot.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 1U rack server. This kit is not a universal PCIe retimer accessory — it is platform-specific to the SR630 V2 Gen4 internal routing architecture. Do not install in SR630 (V1), SR650, or other ThinkSystem platforms; Lenovo assigns distinct option part numbers for each chassis generation and slot configuration. Confirm your SR630 V2 configuration guide or Hardware Maintenance Manual specifies 4X97A59988 for your target PCIe slot before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation follows Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 internal cabling procedures — power down, disconnect all power cords, and observe ESD precautions before handling. Route the cable per the server's internal cable routing diagram to avoid interference with airflow baffles and adjacent adapters. Retimer adapters are sensitive to seating; confirm both connectors are fully engaged before powering on. Consult the SR630 V2 server accessories documentation for torque and latch confirmation steps specific to this platform.
