Lenovo 4X97B03867 SR650 V4 2.5IN BP1 NVME Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97B03867 SR650 V4 2.5-Inch BP1 NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97B03867 is a factory-new NVMe cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR650 V4 server platform. It provides the internal wiring needed to connect the 2.5-inch Backplane 1 (BP1) assembly to the system board's NVMe interface — a required component when configuring or restoring NVMe storage connectivity in BP1-equipped SR650 V4 deployments. If you are expanding storage capacity, replacing a damaged harness, or building out a new SR650 V4 node from components, this kit supplies the correct Lenovo-engineered cable assembly for that backplane position rather than relying on generic alternatives that may not seat correctly or meet signal integrity requirements.

Compatibility

This kit is designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V4 in configurations using the 2.5-inch hot-swap drive Bay Pack 1 (BP1). It is not interchangeable with SR650 V2 or V3 backplane cable sets, nor with BP2 or BP3 positions on the V4 platform — connector routing and harness length differ by backplane slot. Verify your server's bay configuration against the SR650 V4 hardware maintenance manual before ordering. This kit is not compatible with SAS/SATA backplane configurations; it is specific to NVMe storage backplane wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation requires accessing the SR650 V4 chassis interior with the system powered down and cooled. The 4X97B03867 replaces or supplements the BP1 NVMe harness; route cables per the SR650 V4 cable routing guide to avoid interference with airflow baffles and adjacent drive backplanes. No special tooling beyond standard server screwdrivers is typically required for cable seating, but confirm backplane connector locking tabs are fully engaged before closing the chassis. Weight of the kit as shipped is 10.00 lb — account for this when planning rack-side serviceability in dense configurations.
