Lenovo 4X97A86429 SR655 V3 2.5IN R SAS CA KIT

Lenovo 4X97A86429 SR655 V3 Rear 2.5-Inch SAS Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A86429 is a SAS cable kit designed to enable rear 2.5-inch drive bay connectivity in the ThinkSystem SR655 V3 server. If you're configuring an SR655 V3 with rear-mounted SAS drives — expanding storage capacity beyond the front bays — this kit provides the required physical cabling to route SAS signal from the backplane or RAID adapter to the rear drive cage. Without it, rear SAS drives cannot be recognized by the controller, regardless of how the RAID card or HBA is configured. At 10 lb, the kit contains the cabling hardware needed to complete the rear storage assembly.

Compatibility

The 4X97A86429 is designed for use with the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 server platform specifically. It targets the rear 2.5-inch drive configuration — confirm your SR655 V3 chassis includes a rear drive cage option before ordering. This kit is not a universal SAS cable assembly and is not interchangeable with SR650 V3, SR645 V3, or other ThinkSystem platforms without verified Lenovo compatibility documentation. If you're building out a SAS storage expansion in a multi-node rack deployment, cross-reference the SR655 V3 product guide to confirm the correct cable kit part number for your specific backplane and RAID adapter pairing.

Installation Notes

Route SAS cabling per the SR655 V3 hardware maintenance guide — SAS connectors are keyed and must seat fully before the locking latch engages. Confirm RAID controller or HBA compatibility with the rear backplane before installing drives. Country of origin is Mexico (MX). UNSPSC code 26121624 (Computer Storage Device Parts and Accessories) applies for procurement classification.
