Lenovo 4X97A90341 SR650 V4 2.5IN FIO BP2 NVME G5 CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A90341 SR650 V4 2.5-Inch FIO BP2 NVMe Gen5 Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A90341 is a factory-specific NVMe cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR650 V4 server, targeting the 2.5-inch front I/O (FIO) backplane position 2 (BP2) configuration. If you are expanding or replacing the NVMe signal cabling on an SR650 V4 — particularly when adding front-accessible NVMe drives to the BP2 backplane slot — this kit supplies the correct cables to complete that installation. Using mismatched or generic cables in NVMe Gen5 environments risks signal integrity issues at the high-frequency tolerances Gen5 requires; the 4X97A90341 is the Lenovo-specified part for this slot and server generation.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V4 in the 2.5-inch front I/O, backplane 2 (BP2) NVMe drive configuration. This kit is not cross-compatible with SR650 V3 or earlier generations — backplane pinouts and cable routing changed at the V4 revision. Confirm your server's backplane topology (BP1 vs BP2, FIO vs rear) against Lenovo's SR650 V4 server storage accessories compatibility matrix before ordering. Intended for NVMe interface drive backplanes; not applicable to SAS/SATA backplane configurations.

Installation Notes

This kit ships from Mexico (Country of Origin: MX) and weighs 10.00 lb — account for shipping class accordingly. Installation is internal to the SR650 V4 chassis; proper ESD precautions and powering down the server before routing cables to the BP2 backplane are required. Route per Lenovo's SR650 V4 hardware maintenance guide to ensure cables clear airflow paths and meet bend-radius requirements for NVMe Gen5 signal integrity. No external tools beyond standard server-maintenance kit (Torx/Phillips) should be required, though confirm with the SR650 V4 service documentation for your specific chassis revision.
