Lenovo 4X97B08881 SR850 V4 E3.S 1T Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97B08881 SR850 V4 E3.S 1T Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97B08881 is the dedicated E3.S 1T cable kit for the SR850 V4 server platform. When provisioning or expanding E3.S NVMe storage in an SR850 V4 chassis, the correct internal cable assembly is non-negotiable — an incorrect or missing cable harness prevents drive recognition entirely. The 4X97B08881 provides the specific routing and connector configuration required for the E3.S 1T drive form factor in this server generation, ensuring signal integrity and mechanical fit within the SR850 V4's internal drive bay layout.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR850 V4 server. This cable kit is matched to E3.S 1T (1 Terabyte, E3.S form-factor) NVMe drives within the SR850 V4 platform. Do not install in SR850 V2 or V3 chassis — connector keying and routing paths differ across SR850 generations. Verify your SR850 V4 configuration guide against your drive bay population before ordering, as E3.S cable kits are bay-position and backplane-specific in high-density NVMe configurations.

Installation Notes

At 10.00 lb, the cable kit ships with appropriate packaging for the included harness assembly. Manufactured in Mexico (MX). Installation requires standard Lenovo server tooling; follow the SR850 V4 Hardware Maintenance Guide for cable routing and connector seating procedures. Improper routing in dense NVMe configurations can restrict airflow — adhere to the documented cable management path for the SR850 V4 chassis.
