Lenovo 4X97A86435 SR655 V3 32 NVME CA KIT

Lenovo 4X97A86435 SR655 V3 32-Drive NVMe Cable Assembly Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A86435 is a factory-matched NVMe cable kit engineered for high-density storage configurations in the ThinkSystem SR655 V3 rack server. When you're building out a 32-drive all-flash or hybrid NVMe backplane layout, the signal integrity and connector geometry of the cabling matter — using a kit matched to the platform avoids the fitment and signal issues that come with generic alternatives. This kit addresses the wiring requirement for fully populating the SR655 V3's NVMe drive bays, making it the practical purchase for integrators commissioning dense storage nodes for AI inference, surveillance NVR back-end, or enterprise database workloads.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 rack server. The 4X97A86435 targets the 32-bay NVMe storage expansion configuration within that platform. It is not a universal NVMe cable assembly — do not deploy it in SR655 V1/V2, SR645, SR665, or other ThinkSystem models without verifying backplane and controller compatibility against Lenovo's configurator for those systems. If your SR655 V3 build uses a different drive count or a SAS/SATA backplane instead of NVMe, confirm the correct cable kit part number before ordering.
