Lenovo 4X97A82303 Thinksystem SR250 V2/ST250 V2 M.2 Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97A82303 ThinkSystem M.2 Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A82303 is an M.2 cable kit designed to connect M.2 storage drives within ThinkSystem server platforms. If you are adding or replacing an M.2 boot drive in a supported Lenovo server and the cabling is missing or damaged, this kit supplies the required interconnect — avoiding the need to source individual cables that may not meet the platform's routing and connector specifications. The 4X97A82303 ships factory-new as a genuine Lenovo field-replacement component.

Compatibility

This cable kit is compatible with the following Lenovo ThinkSystem server platforms:

• ThinkSystem SR250 V2 — 1U rack server
• ThinkSystem ST250 V2 — tower server

Both platforms support M.2 NVMe and SATA boot drives via an optional M.2 enablement kit. The 4X97A82303 provides the cabling segment required when deploying M.2 storage in either chassis. Verify your server's current M.2 enablement kit configuration before ordering — the cable kit is a discrete component and does not include the M.2 carrier or adapter card. If you are building out a server storage configuration and need to confirm compatibility with a specific M.2 adapter, cross-reference Lenovo's SR250 V2 or ST250 V2 M.2 option matrix.

Installation Notes

Route the cable according to the internal cable routing diagram in the SR250 V2 or ST250 V2 service guide — improper routing in 1U chassis can impede airflow and interfere with adjacent components. This kit weighs 0.25 lb and packages at 6.10 × 9.80 × 2.20 in, consistent with a single-cable assembly. No special tooling is specified beyond standard server servicing precautions (ESD strap, Torx driver set for chassis access). Confirm the target server's M.2 adapter slot location before routing — the SR250 V2 rack and ST250 V2 tower differ in internal cable path geometry.
