Lenovo 4X97B04117 SR650/A V4 2.5IN BP1 SAS Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97B04117 SR650/A V4 2.5-Inch BP1 SAS Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97B04117 is a SAS cable kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR650 and SR650 V4 server platforms, specifically connecting the BP1 2.5-inch drive backplane to the host controller. If you're expanding storage capacity, replacing a damaged cable assembly, or completing a field upgrade on an SR650 chassis, this kit delivers the right cable geometry and connector terminations to maintain SAS signal integrity — avoiding the compatibility pitfalls that come with generic or cross-generation cabling. At 10 lb, the kit includes the cable harness assembly appropriate to the backplane bay configuration.

Compatibility

This kit is validated for use with the following Lenovo ThinkSystem platforms:

• ThinkSystem SR650 (7X05, 7X06): the V4-generation 2U dual-socket server in its 2.5-inch drive bay configuration with BP1 backplane installed.
• ThinkSystem SR650 V4 (7D15, 7D16): current-generation SR650 chassis — confirm your backplane slot assignment matches BP1 before ordering; the BP2 and BP3 positions require separate cable kits.

SAS interface only — this kit does not apply to NVMe or SATA-only backplane configurations. Verify your storage controller (typically a ThinkSystem RAID adapter or HBA) supports SAS signaling at the target backplane before installation.

Installation Notes

Cable routing in the SR650 chassis follows Lenovo's defined backplane-to-controller path; consult the SR650 Hardware Maintenance Guide for the BP1 slot cable map before installing to avoid pinch points against the midplane. Country of origin is Mexico (MX). UNSPSC commodity code 26121624 (electronic cable assemblies) applies for procurement classification.
