Lenovo 4X97B03862 SR650 V4 3.5IN Front SAS Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97B03862 SR650 V4 3.5-Inch Front SAS Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97B03862 is a factory-new SAS cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR650 V4 rack server, specifically enabling 3.5-inch front drive bay connectivity. SAS cabling is the physical link between the server's RAID/HBA controller and the front storage backplane — without the correct kit, drive bays remain unaddressed and storage expansion stalls at commissioning. This kit targets integrators adding or replacing front 3.5-inch drive cage assemblies in SR650 V4 deployments where the correct cable run is either missing or needs to match a revised drive cage configuration.

Compatibility

Designed for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V4 2U rack server with 3.5-inch front-access drive bays. This kit is specific to the V4 revision of the SR650 — earlier SR650 (V2/V3) chassis use different backplane connectors and cable lengths; confirm the chassis generation before ordering. Compatible with SAS/SATA storage configurations routed through the front backplane on the SR650 V4 platform. For ThinkSystem server storage accessories across the broader server storage category, verify the target chassis generation and drive bay count against Lenovo's configurator before procurement.

Installation Notes

Route SAS cables according to the SR650 V4 hardware maintenance guide — cable management arms and strain relief points are chassis-specific. The SAS interface requires proper seating at both the controller and backplane ends; a partially seated SAS connector will not report a drive error at boot but will cause intermittent path failures under sustained I/O. Weight is 10 lb (4.5 kg) for the kit, consistent with a multi-cable bundle for a fully populated 3.5-inch front cage. Country of origin: Mexico.
