Lenovo 4XF7A81459 ST250 V2 3.5 SATA 8-BAY SS Bracket KIT

Lenovo 4XF7A81459 ST250 V2 3.5" SATA 8-Bay Simple-Swap Bracket Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XF7A81459 is a simple-swap bracket kit that enables 8-bay 3.5-inch SATA drive configuration in the ThinkSystem ST250 V2 tower server. If you're expanding local storage capacity in an ST250 V2 and need to maximize SATA bay count rather than running a hot-swap backplane, this bracket assembly is the specific hardware that makes that build possible. At 2.00 lb, it's a passive mechanical kit — no firmware, no configuration — install it and populate your drives. The UNSPSC code 43211600 classifies this as a computer storage device component, consistent with a drive carrier and bracket assembly for internal bay use.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 V2 tower server. This kit targets the simple-swap (SS) bay configuration — meaning drives are installed without a hot-swap backplane and the server must be powered down for drive changes. Confirm your ST250 V2 chassis order code supports the 8-bay 3.5-inch SATA simple-swap layout before purchasing; ST250 V2 units configured for hot-swap or NVMe topologies use different backplane and bracket assemblies. Interface is SATA — this kit does not support SAS or NVMe drives. If you're sourcing server storage components for the ST250 V2 platform, verify the target chassis bay count and backplane type against your server's configuration order.

Installation Notes

This is a mechanical bracket kit for installation inside the ST250 V2 chassis. Power the server down completely before installing the bracket assembly or seating drives — simple-swap bays do not support live insertion. Ensure SATA drive dimensions conform to standard 3.5-inch form factor; large-format or non-standard drives may not seat correctly in the bracket. Consult the server rack accessories and ThinkSystem ST250 V2 hardware maintenance manual for bay-specific torque and retention clip guidance before final assembly.
