Lenovo 4X97A87062 SR650 V3 2.5IN Rear BP G5 NVME CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A87062 SR650 V3 2.5-Inch Rear Backplane NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A87062 is a NVMe cable kit designed for the rear 2.5-inch backplane (Generation 5) on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 servers. If you are expanding storage capacity to the rear drive bays or retrofitting an SR650 V3 with NVMe rear storage, this kit provides the correct cabling to connect the rear backplane to the system board — without which the backplane simply will not signal drives to the controller. This is a factory-new, genuine Lenovo option part, sourced channel-direct with no grey-market or parallel import risk.

Compatibility

This cable kit is specific to the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 platform. It is designed for the 2.5-inch rear backplane (G5 NVMe) configuration. It is not interchangeable with SR650 V2, SR650 Gen 1, or other ThinkSystem models — Lenovo rear backplane cable assemblies are chassis- and generation-specific, and using a mismatched kit risks connector damage or non-recognition by the RAID/HBA controller. Verify your SR650 V3 rear bay configuration (NVMe vs. SAS/SATA) before ordering: this kit is for the NVMe variant only.

Installation Notes

Installation requires access to the SR650 V3 chassis interior with the server powered down and rails extended or the system removed from the rack. Route the NVMe cable from the rear backplane connector to the designated system board header per the SR650 V3 Hardware Maintenance Guide. Correct seating at both ends is critical — NVMe backplane cables are keyed but can appear partially seated; confirm full engagement before closing the chassis. Weight of this kit is 10.00 lb, which reflects packaged shipping weight, not the cable assembly alone. Country of origin: MX.
