Lenovo 4X97A90290 SR665 V3 2.5 F-BP1 NVME GEN5 Cable

Lenovo 4X97A90290 SR665 V3 NVMe Gen5 Front Backplane Cable

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A90290 is a NVMe Gen5 signal cable designed for the 2.5-inch front backplane (F-BP1) position in Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 V3 rack servers. If you're configuring or expanding NVMe Gen5 storage in an SR665 V3 and need to route the front backplane connection — whether during initial build or a drive-bay upgrade — this is the cable that completes that signal path. Without the correct backplane cable, the server cannot recognize or communicate with the installed NVMe drives, making this a non-optional part of any front-bay NVMe Gen5 deployment on this platform.

Compatibility

This cable is specific to the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 V3 server platform. It connects to the F-BP1 (first front backplane) position and supports the NVMe Gen5 interface. It is not interchangeable with cables designed for SAS/SATA backplanes, earlier SR665 generations, or other ThinkSystem models — confirm your server generation and backplane slot designation before ordering. For other server cable and backplane accessories, verify the exact backplane assembly part number against your SR665 V3 configuration guide.

UNSPSC code 43211600 classifies this as a computer storage device component, consistent with its role as a server storage interconnect in high-density NVMe configurations.
