Lenovo 4X97A80393 SR665 2.5 Front BP2 SAS Cable KIT V2

Lenovo 4X97A80393 SR665 2.5" Front Backplane 2 SAS Cable Kit V2

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A80393 is the V2 SAS cable kit for the 2.5" Front Backplane 2 (BP2) position in the ThinkSystem SR665 server. If you're expanding drive capacity on an SR665 or replacing a damaged internal SAS interconnect, this kit delivers the correct-length, correct-connector cables matched to the BP2 bay — avoiding the compatibility and clearance issues that come with generic or aftermarket SAS cable substitutions. The 4X97A80393 is a factory-new, genuine Lenovo component sourced through commercial distribution channels.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 2-socket AMD EPYC rack server, 2.5" drive configuration, Front Backplane 2 slot. This kit is position-specific — it is not interchangeable with the BP1 cable kit or with 3.5" backplane variants. Before ordering, confirm your SR665 is populated with 2.5" drive bays and that BP2 is the unpopulated or replacement backplane position. Verify against your SR665 configuration guide if you are unsure which backplane position maps to your drive cage.

Installation Notes

SAS cable routing inside the SR665 chassis is position-sensitive: the V2 designation reflects a revised routing path or connector layout versus the original kit — do not substitute V1 and V2 interchangeably. Seat both ends of each cable fully until the latch clicks; a partially seated SAS connector will prevent the controller from initializing the backplane. Consult the SR665 hardware maintenance guide for the correct cable path through the chassis cable guide clips to avoid pinching cables against drive cage edges during reassembly. Ships at 2.00 lb — account for the full kit weight when planning rack service logistics.
