Lenovo 4X97A82940 SR650 V3 2.5INC Middle BP NVME CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A82940 SR650 V3 2.5-Inch Middle Backplane NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A82940 is a factory-new NVMe cable kit designed for the 2.5-inch middle backplane position in the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 rack server. If you are expanding or replacing the internal NVMe signal path in an SR650 V3 — whether adding a second backplane tier or restoring a damaged cable run — this kit delivers the exact OEM cable assembly required to maintain signal integrity on the NVMe interface. Using a non-OEM or mismatched cable in an NVMe backplane path introduces compatibility risk at the controller and backplane connectors; the 4X97A82940 eliminates that variable.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server platform, middle backplane configuration, 2.5-inch drive bay form factor. This kit is not interchangeable with the SR650 V1/V2, SR630, or SR850 cable assemblies — backplane connector layouts differ across generations. Confirm your SR650 V3 chassis configuration (middle backplane installed, 2.5-inch bay) before ordering. If your SR650 V3 uses a front or rear backplane position, a different cable kit part number is required.

Installation Notes

This kit is intended for installation by qualified server technicians familiar with Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 internal cabling procedures. Follow the SR650 V3 Hardware Maintenance Manual for backplane cable routing and connector seating sequences — improper seating on NVMe backplane connectors can result in drive non-detection without visible physical damage. The kit ships from Mexico (country of origin: MX) and is classified under UNSPSC 26121620 (computer cable assemblies).
