Lenovo 4X97B08882 SR850 V4 E3.S 2T Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97B08882 SR850 V4 E3.S 2T Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97B08882 is a factory-matched cable kit designed for E3.S 2T drive connectivity on the ThinkSystem SR850 V4 server platform. When expanding or replacing internal storage cabling in the SR850 V4 chassis, this kit provides the correct signal and power harness geometry — eliminating the guesswork of sourcing third-party cables that may not route cleanly within the chassis or seat reliably on the backplane connectors.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR850 V4 server. This kit is matched to E3.S form-factor 2T (2-Terabyte tier) enterprise storage drive configurations within that platform. It is not a universal cable assembly — confirm your SR850 generation (V4 specifically) and backplane configuration before ordering. It is not validated for SR850 V3, SR860, or other ThinkSystem models without separate Lenovo confirmation.

Installation Notes

Route and seat all connectors before powering the chassis. E3.S backplane connectors are keyed — do not force orientation. Follow Lenovo's SR850 V4 hardware maintenance guide for cable routing paths and retention clip engagement; improper routing can obstruct airflow across the drive bay and affect thermal performance under sustained storage I/O load.
