Lenovo 4X97B08934 SR860 V4 8X2.5 NVME Cable KIT

Lenovo 4X97B08934 SR860 V4 NVMe Cable Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97B08934 is an OEM NVMe cable kit designed to wire up the 8x2.5-inch front drive bay configuration on the ThinkSystem SR860 V4 server. If you're populating or reconfiguring an SR860 V4 with NVMe storage expansion — whether adding drives post-deployment or replacing damaged signal cables — this kit provides the factory-spec harness for that specific bay layout. Without the correct cables in place, the server's backplane cannot communicate with the NVMe drives, making 4X97B08934 a non-negotiable prerequisite for any 8x2.5 NVMe storage build-out on this platform.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V4 rack server. This cable kit is matched to the 8x2.5-inch NVMe drive bay configuration on that platform only. It is not a universal NVMe cable assembly and should not be assumed compatible with other ThinkSystem SR860 generations (V1, V2, V3) or other server families. Verify your SR860 V4's bay configuration against Lenovo's option compatibility matrix before ordering — the SR860 V4 supports multiple bay configurations, and the correct cable kit depends on which backplane assembly is installed. If your deployment uses high-density NVMe storage servers for video surveillance or similar write-intensive workloads, confirm the exact backplane model number in your server's documentation before selecting this kit.

Installation Notes

Country of origin is Mexico (MX). Weight of the kit is 10.00 lb — factor this into shipping logistics for multi-unit orders. Installation requires internal server access on the SR860 V4; follow Lenovo's static-discharge and torque procedures as specified in the SR860 V4 hardware maintenance guide. NVMe cable routing and connector seating on high-density 2.5-inch backplanes are sensitive to bend radius and connector orientation — verify seating before closing the chassis to avoid intermittent drive recognition errors.
