Lenovo 4XA7A77462 ST50 V2 Slim Dvd-rw Drive KIT

Lenovo 4XA7A77462 ST50 V2 Slim DVD-RW Drive Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XA7A77462 is a slim DVD-RW drive kit designed for internal installation in compatible Lenovo ThinkSystem tower servers. If your ST50 V2 deployment requires optical media capability — for OS provisioning from disc, BIOS/firmware recovery, or legacy media access — this kit provides the factory-matched optical drive assembly rather than a generic aftermarket unit that may not seat correctly in the server chassis bay. The 4XA7A77462 ships as a validated kit, ensuring the drive and associated hardware are sized and configured for the target platform.

Compatibility

Designed for the Lenovo ThinkSystem ST50 V2 tower server. Verify your ST50 V2 chassis has an available slim optical drive bay before ordering — not all ST50 V2 configurations ship with the bay bracket pre-installed. Consult the ST50 V2 server accessories compatibility matrix or the system's hardware maintenance manual to confirm bay availability for your specific build. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other ThinkSystem models (ST250, ST550, etc.) without verifying via Lenovo's official parts configurator.

Installation Notes

Physical footprint: 9.60 x 5.90 x 2.10 in, weight 0.65 lb. The slim form factor fits the dedicated optical bay in the ST50 V2 chassis — not a standard 5.25-inch half-height bay. Power down and discharge static before handling. Connect the drive's SATA data and power connectors to the motherboard's optical drive header and the appropriate power rail from the server's internal PSU. Consult the ST50 V2 hardware maintenance manual for the correct torque spec on the drive retention screws and for the exact cable routing to avoid obstructing airflow across the CPU and memory channels.
