Lenovo 4X97A82943 SR650 V3 32X2.5INC NVME CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A82943 SR650 V3 32x 2.5-Inch NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A82943 is a factory-configured NVMe cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server when deploying a full 32-bay 2.5-inch NVMe drive configuration. If you're expanding or initially wiring an SR650 V3 for all-NVMe storage — whether for high-throughput database workloads, AI inferencing, or dense surveillance video retention — this kit provides the signal cabling that routes NVMe connections from the backplane to the system board. Weighing 10 lb, it ships factory-new as a genuine Lenovo field option.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server platform in a 32x 2.5-inch NVMe drive bay configuration. This kit is not interchangeable with SR650 V1/V2 generations, nor with SAS/SATA backplane variants — confirm your SR650 V3 chassis is configured for the 32x 2.5-inch NVMe backplane before ordering. Consult your SR650 V3 Configuration Guide to verify the backplane option code matches this cable kit's routing layout.

Installation Notes

Cable routing in a 32-bay NVMe configuration is order-sensitive — incorrect seating can prevent NVMe drive enumeration at POST. Install with the server fully powered down and follow the SR650 V3 Maintenance Manual cable routing diagrams precisely. NVMe signal cables are more sensitive to bend radius than SAS cables; avoid sharp folds or pinching against drive cage rails during reassembly. Country of origin: Mexico (MX).
