Lenovo 4X97A80392 SR665 2.5 Front BP1 NVME Cable KIT V2

Lenovo 4X97A80392 SR665 2.5" Front Backplane NVMe Cable Kit V2

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A80392 is a factory-genuine NVMe cable kit designed for the SR665 server's 2.5-inch front drive backplane (BP1). When expanding or replacing NVMe drive connectivity on an SR665, this V2 kit provides the correct signal cabling to route NVMe lanes between the front backplane and the system board — eliminating the guesswork of sourcing compatible aftermarket cables that may not seat correctly or deliver reliable signal integrity at NVMe speeds. With a shipping weight of 2.00 lb, the kit contains the necessary cabling to complete a structured NVMe backplane installation without improvised substitutions.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 2U server platform, targeting the 2.5-inch front drive backplane (BP1) configuration. This is a server cable intended for SR665 builds that require NVMe front-drive connectivity. Before ordering, confirm your SR665 chassis revision and backplane bay assignment against Lenovo's SR665 option compatibility matrix — SR665 V2 and V3 chassis revisions may use distinct cable routing, and BP2/BP3 backplane positions require separate cable kits. The V2 designation in the part number indicates a revised cable design; do not substitute an earlier revision cable if your backplane assembly specifies V2.

Installation Notes

Route NVMe signal cables before fully seating drives in the front backplane to avoid forced bends at the connector bodies. Verify connector orientation against the SR665 server maintenance documentation before insertion — NVMe backplane connectors are keyed but can sustain pin damage if forced at an angle. Secure cable runs with the existing SR665 cable management arms to prevent contact with the system fan wall under airflow.
