Lenovo 4X97A83826 SR630 V3 4X3.5INC Anybay BP NVME CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A83826 SR630 V3 Anybay NVMe Backplane Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A83826 is a cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR630 V3 server configured with a 4x3.5-inch Anybay backplane. It provides the NVMe signal cabling necessary to connect that backplane to the server's onboard NVMe pathways — a required component when adding or replacing the Anybay drive backplane assembly in an SR630 V3 chassis. Without the correct cable kit, NVMe drives seated in the backplane will not enumerate. Sourced factory-new as a genuine Lenovo field upgrade and service part.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V3 server platform equipped with the 4x3.5-inch Anybay backplane option. The Anybay backplane architecture supports both SAS/SATA and NVMe drives in the same slots — this cable kit enables the NVMe signal path for that configuration. It is not interchangeable with SR630 V2, SR650, or other ThinkSystem chassis; backplane cable routing and connector pinout differ by generation and bay count. Confirm your SR630 V3 chassis build sheet specifies the 4x3.5-inch Anybay backplane before ordering.

Installation Notes

This kit ships from Mexico (country of origin: MX) and weighs 10 lb, consistent with a multi-cable assembly packaged for server field installation. Installation is performed inside the SR630 V3 chassis with the server powered down and rack-slid for access. Route cables per Lenovo's SR630 V3 hardware maintenance guide — incorrect routing can obstruct airflow across the drive cage and trigger thermal warnings under load. The NVMe interface connectors are keyed; do not force seating. Refer to the SR630 V3 service documentation for torque specs on any retention hardware included with the backplane assembly.
