Lenovo 4X97A83829 SR630 V3 10X2.5 Anybay BP NVME CBL KI

Lenovo 4X97A83829 SR630 V3 10x2.5" Anybay Backplane NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A83829 is a factory-new NVMe cable kit designed specifically for the ThinkSystem SR630 V3 server platform. It supports the 10x2.5" Anybay backplane configuration, delivering the correct signal routing for NVMe drive attachment in dense 1U rack deployments. If you are expanding NVMe storage capacity on an SR630 V3 or replacing a damaged cable assembly, this is the Lenovo-specified part for that backplane variant.

The NVMe interface means these cables are built for the high-bandwidth, low-latency storage paths that NVMe SSDs demand — not interchangeable with the SAS/SATA cable assemblies used on alternative backplane configurations in the same chassis. Using the correct cable kit matters: mismatched assemblies in the SR630 V3 can prevent backplane detection entirely. The 4X97A83829 is the designated kit for the Anybay (universal bay) variant, which supports mixed NVMe/SAS populations depending on drive selection.

Manufactured in Mexico, the 4X97A83829 ships as a genuine Lenovo spare, sourced through US distribution with no grey-market or parallel-import risk. At 1.00 lb, the kit is a compact assembly — consistent with a cable bundle rather than a full backplane subassembly.

Key Features

• NVMe Interface: Wired specifically for NVMe signal paths — required for full PCIe Gen 4/5 bandwidth to NVMe SSDs in the SR630 V3 Anybay configuration. A SAS cable will not substitute here without losing NVMe drive recognition.
• 10x2.5" Anybay Backplane Compatibility: The Anybay design supports flexible drive population; this cable kit enables the NVMe signal layer for that backplane, giving you the wiring side of a mixed or all-NVMe bay configuration.
• 1.00 lb Assembly Weight: Lightweight cable bundle — practical for field replacement without requiring removal of major subassemblies beyond what backplane access demands.
• Factory-New Genuine Part: Sourced from US distribution, manufactured in Mexico (MX origin) — not refurbished, not a third-party substitute.

Integration & Compatibility

The 4X97A83829 is compatible with the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V3 configured with the 10x2.5" Anybay backplane. Verify your SR630 V3 backplane part number before ordering — the SR630 V3 supports multiple backplane variants (AnyBay, SAS/SATA-only, pure NVMe), each requiring its own cable kit. Cross-referencing the Lenovo server platform documentation or your server's hardware maintenance manual is the reliable way to confirm this is the correct assembly for your specific build. This kit does not apply to SR630 (original), SR630 V2, or other ThinkSystem models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What server is the 4X97A83829 compatible with?

A: The 4X97A83829 is designed for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V3 with the 10x2.5" Anybay backplane. It is not cross-compatible with the SR630 V1/V2 or other ThinkSystem platforms.

Q: Is this an NVMe-only cable kit or does it support SAS/SATA as well?

A: This kit is designated for NVMe signal routing. The Anybay backplane supports multiple drive interface types, but the 4X97A83829 specifically serves the NVMe cable path — consult your backplane configuration to confirm which cable assemblies your build requires.

Q: Is the 4X97A83829 a new or refurbished part?

A: Factory-new. Sourced through US distribution with no refurbished or grey-market components.

Q: What is the country of origin for this cable kit?

A: Mexico (MX), per the product's structured distribution data.

Q: Does this kit include all cables needed for the 10x2.5" Anybay backplane NVMe configuration?

A: The 4X97A83829 is listed as the cable kit (CBL KI) for that backplane variant. Confirm exact contents against the SR630 V3 hardware maintenance manual or Lenovo parts list for your specific configuration, as backplane cable requirements can vary by installed option.

The 4X97A83829 is one of those parts that looks trivial on a BOM until it is missing. It is the NVMe cable kit for the SR630 V3 10x2.5" Anybay backplane — and if you order the wrong cable assembly for your backplane variant, the server either boots with undetected drives or throws backplane errors that waste a service call to diagnose.

Technical Highlights:

• NVMe Interface Specificity: This kit routes PCIe-based NVMe signal paths, not SAS/SATA — the SR630 V3 Anybay backplane requires separate cable assemblies per interface type, and substitution is not possible without drive recognition failure.
• Anybay Backplane Target: Anybay bays are configurable for NVMe or SAS drives depending on population choice. The 4X97A83829 handles the NVMe side of that flexibility — essential when transitioning a bay group from SAS to all-NVMe.
• 1.00 lb Kit Weight: Consistent with a bundled cable assembly rather than a populated subassembly — field-replaceable by a single technician without chassis disassembly beyond backplane access.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your SR630 V3 backplane part number before procurement — the SR630 V3 ships in multiple backplane configurations, and the cable kit is not universal across variants. A mismatched kit is a non-starter.
• Country of origin is Mexico (MX); relevant for TAA or NDAA procurement reviews, though TAA and NDAA compliance for this specific cable kit should be verified independently through Lenovo's compliance documentation before relying on it for federal procurement.

The 4X97A83829 is the right order for SR630 V3 Anybay NVMe cable replacement in data center environments where drive configuration is being upgraded from SAS to NVMe — particularly relevant in HPC, AI inference, or storage-intensive rack builds where NVMe density in a 1U footprint is the design goal.
