Lenovo 4X97A82934 SR650 V3 2.5 Inch Front BP2 NVME CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A82934 SR650 V3 2.5-Inch Front BP2 NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A82934 is a factory-new NVMe cable kit designed to connect the 2.5-inch front drive backplane 2 (BP2) position on the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 rack server. If you're expanding NVMe storage capacity in an SR650 V3 and the front BP2 cable is missing from your build — either because it wasn't included in the base configuration or was damaged during a field repair — this kit restores the signal path between the backplane and the system board without improvising with mismatched assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 2U rack server, front 2.5-inch drive bay BP2 position. This cable kit targets the NVMe interface; it is not interchangeable with SAS/SATA backplane cables from SR650 (non-V3) or other ThinkSystem 2U platforms such as the SR630 V3 or SR850 V3. Verify your server's backplane configuration and bay assignment against the SR650 V3 hardware maintenance manual before ordering — Lenovo uses position-specific cable assemblies, and BP1/BP2/BP3 kits are not cross-compatible even within the same chassis generation.

Installation Notes

NVMe backplane cables on the SR650 V3 are routed through defined cable channels inside the chassis; confirm the cable path is clear before seating connectors to avoid pinching. The NVMe interface requires a secure latch engagement at both the backplane and system board ends — a partially seated connector will prevent drive enumeration entirely rather than degrading gracefully, so verify both ends are fully locked after installation.
