Lenovo 4X97A90343 SR650 V3 2.5IN FIO BP2 Sas/sata CBL KIT

Lenovo 4X97A90343 SR650 V3 2.5-Inch FIO BP2 SAS/SATA Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A90343 is a factory-new SAS/SATA cable kit designed for the SR650 V3 server platform, specifically addressing the Field Installation Option (FIO) BP2 backplane configuration. If you are expanding or reconfiguring drive backplane cabling on an SR650 V3 — adding a second backplane or completing a build that shipped without this cable assembly — this kit provides the correct signal routing harness between the backplane and the storage controller. Using the correct Lenovo-sourced cable ensures signal integrity at SAS/SATA speeds and eliminates fitment issues that arise with generic alternatives in a dense 2.5-inch drive bay chassis.

Compatibility

This cable kit is specific to the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server platform, targeting the BP2 backplane position in 2.5-inch drive bay configurations. It is not interchangeable with SR650 (Gen 1/Gen 2) backplane cable assemblies, nor with SR650 V3 3.5-inch bay variants — verify your chassis bay type and backplane slot designation before ordering. Confirm the FIO (Field Installation Option) status of your SR650 V3 build in your configuration documentation; this kit is the correct solution when BP2 cabling was excluded from the factory build.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed within the SR650 V3 chassis following Lenovo's standard field-service procedure for backplane cable routing. The cable interfaces with both SAS and SATA storage protocols, so it supports the full range of 2.5-inch drives the SR650 V3 accommodates in this bay position. Shipped from Mexico (country of origin: MX); UNSPSC code 26121624 (cable assemblies and harnesses). Listed weight is 10 lb, which reflects packaged shipping weight rather than cable assembly weight alone.
