Lenovo 4X97A96845 SR630 V4 10X2.5IN G5 NVME Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97A96845 SR630 V4 10x2.5in G5 NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A96845 is a factory-new NVMe cable kit designed to enable a 10-bay, 2.5-inch Gen 5 NVMe drive configuration in the ThinkSystem SR630 V4 server. If you're expanding storage density in an SR630 V4 — whether for high-throughput AI inference workloads, database acceleration, or dense virtualization — this kit provides the internal cabling infrastructure required to connect those drives to the backplane. Without the correct OEM cable assembly, Gen 5 NVMe signal integrity cannot be guaranteed at the speeds these drives operate. Sourced factory-new from Lenovo's supply chain with no grey-market or parallel imports.

Compatibility

This cable kit is designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V4 server platform. It supports configurations using 10x 2.5-inch PCIe Gen 5 NVMe drives. It is not interchangeable with SR630 V3, SR650, or other ThinkSystem platforms — cable routing, connector pitch, and backplane interface differ across generations. Verify your server's chassis configuration code and backplane option before ordering; the SR630 V4 supports multiple front-panel storage configurations, and this kit corresponds specifically to the 10x 2.5-inch NVMe storage expansion option.

Installation Notes

Installation requires access to the SR630 V4 system board and front storage backplane. Follow Lenovo's ThinkSystem SR630 V4 Maintenance Manual for cable routing paths — Gen 5 NVMe cables are sensitive to bend radius violations that can degrade signal integrity at PCIe 5.0 speeds. Ensure the server is fully powered down and discharged before handling internal cabling. No special tooling beyond standard server maintenance tools is documented for this kit. Country of origin is Mexico; UNSPSC code 26121620 (electronic cables and wires).
