Lenovo 4X97A82930 SR650 V3 3.5INC Rear BP Sas/sata CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A82930 SR650 V3 Rear 3.5-Inch Backplane SAS/SATA Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A82930 is a factory-new SAS/SATA cable kit designed for rear 3.5-inch backplane installations in the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server. If you are expanding or replacing rear drive connectivity — whether adding a rear storage bay option or recovering from a damaged cable assembly — this kit supplies the correct interface cabling without substitution risk. Part number 4X97A82930 is a Lenovo-sourced component, meaning fitment and connector keying match what left the factory.

Compatibility

This cable kit is specified for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 platform with a rear 3.5-inch drive backplane configuration. It supports both SAS and SATA interface types, covering spinning HDDs and SATA SSDs in that rear bay. It is not a universal SAS/SATA cable — the connector routing, cable length, and backplane header layout are specific to the SR650 V3 rear-bay option. Do not substitute this part into SR650 V2 or SR630/SR650 non-V3 variants without verifying Lenovo's compatibility matrix; the backplane connector positions differ across generations. If you are configuring a network video recorder or storage server for IP camera footage retention using an SR650 V3, this kit is the correct rear-expansion cabling for added HDD capacity.

Installation Notes

The kit ships at 10 lb — account for that when ordering for remote-site deployments where shipping weight affects freight costs. Country of origin is Mexico. Installation requires access to the rear of the SR650 V3 chassis with the system powered down and properly grounded; follow Lenovo's SR650 V3 maintenance manual for backplane cable routing and connector seating torque. No field modification of connectors is appropriate — the cable assembly is designed for direct plug-in to the rear backplane and the corresponding RAID/HBA controller port. Consult a server components reference or the SR650 V3 service guide for the correct cable routing path before installation.
