Lenovo 4X97A82933 SR650 V3 2.5IN Front BP1 Sas/sata CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A82933 SR650 V3 2.5-Inch Front BP1 SAS/SATA Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A82933 is a factory-matched cable kit that connects the 2.5-inch front drive backplane (BP1) to the storage controller in the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 rack server. If you are expanding storage in an SR650 V3 or replacing a damaged signal path between the front bay and the RAID or HBA adapter, this is the part that restores that connection. It supports both SAS and SATA drive populations, meaning the same cable assembly works whether your front bays are loaded with enterprise SAS HDDs, SATA SSDs, or a mix — no separate kits required for each drive type.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 (7D75, 7D76, 7D77 chassis series). It targets the BP1 backplane position — the primary front 2.5-inch bay assembly — not the optional BP2 or rear-mounted backplanes, which use separate cable kits. Verify your backplane slot assignment and controller port mapping in the SR650 V3 hardware maintenance guide before ordering; installing the BP1 kit on an alternate backplane slot will result in a connector mismatch. SAS and SATA interfaces are both covered by this single assembly, covering the broadest set of front-bay drive configurations used in this platform.

Installation Notes

Route the cable per Lenovo's documented cable routing diagrams for the SR650 V3 — incorrect routing can prevent proper chassis closure or interfere with airflow baffles. Ensure the server is fully powered down and ESD precautions are in place before handling the backplane connector. Weight is 1.00 lb; no special tooling beyond standard server maintenance equipment is required, but confirm controller port assignments match BP1 before seating connectors.
