Lenovo 4X97A87729 SR655 V3 2.5IN R Anybay G5 CA KIT

Lenovo 4X97A87729 SR655 V3 2.5-Inch Rear Anybay Gen5 Cable/Adapter Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A87729 is a rear drive cage cable and adapter kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR655 V3 rack server, enabling the 2.5-inch rear Anybay Gen5 backplane configuration. If you are expanding rear storage in an SR655 V3 chassis or replacing a damaged cable assembly, part number 4X97A87729 is the factory-matched component for that specific backplane slot. At 10 lb, this kit includes the physical cabling and adapters required to connect the rear Anybay backplane to the system board — avoiding the improvised cable runs that introduce signal integrity risk in high-density NVMe or SAS/SATA mixed configurations.

Compatibility

Designed exclusively for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 platform. The Anybay backplane design supports mixed NVMe and SAS/SATA drive populations in the same cage — verify your SR655 V3 chassis revision and rear bay configuration against Lenovo's server configuration guide before ordering. This kit is specific to the rear 2.5-inch bay position; front bay cable assemblies and other server accessories use separate part numbers. Do not substitute with SR655 (V1/V2) cable kits — connector and routing geometry differ across generations.
