Lenovo 4X97A87726 SR655 V3 M.2 X4 Sata/nvme CA KIT

Lenovo 4X97A87726 SR655 V3 M.2 x4 SATA/NVMe Carrier Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A87726 is an M.2 x4 carrier kit that adds SATA and NVMe M.2 drive support to the ThinkSystem SR655 V3 server. If you're expanding local storage capacity on an SR655 V3 — whether for OS boot drives, edge caching, or fast scratch storage — this kit installs directly into the server's designated M.2 slot and supports both SATA and NVMe interfaces, giving you flexibility to seat whichever M.2 drive format your workload demands without committing to one protocol at purchase time.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 rack server. The x4 lane allocation supports NVMe M.2 drives at full PCIe throughput as well as SATA M.2 drives — meaning you can deploy a low-latency NVMe boot SSD or a higher-capacity SATA M.2 for logging and lightweight storage roles in the same server storage platform. Verify slot availability and BIOS support on your specific SR655 V3 configuration before ordering; M.2 slot count varies by motherboard revision and existing installed options.

Installation Notes

Country of origin is Mexico. The kit carries an M.2 form factor — confirm your target M.2 key and drive length (2242, 2260, 2280) are supported by reviewing the SR655 V3 server accessory compatibility matrix in the Lenovo Press product guide before installation. Dual-interface (NVMe/SATA) kits like this require the correct BIOS/UEFI configuration to recognize the installed drive protocol; set the M.2 slot mode appropriately in the server's Setup Utility post-install.
