Lenovo 4XF7A96625 ST45 V3 2X3.5 HDD Cage KIT

Lenovo 4XF7A96625 ST45 V3 2x3.5-Inch HDD Cage Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XF7A96625 is a dual 3.5-inch HDD cage kit designed to expand the internal hot-swap storage bay capacity of compatible ThinkSystem ST45 V3 tower servers. If your ST45 V3 deployment is running out of raw storage bay headroom — common in surveillance NVR builds, file server expansions, or on-premises backup appliances — this cage kit adds two additional large-format drive positions without requiring an external enclosure or additional chassis. At 2.05 lb and dimensioned at 13.20 x 12.20 x 3.20 in, it installs directly into the server's reserved cage bay space, keeping your storage expansion fully internal and chassis-contained.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem ST45 V3 tower server platform. This cage kit is a model-specific accessory — do not assume cross-compatibility with earlier ST45 generations or other ThinkSystem tower models (ST250, ST550, ST650) without verifying bay architecture against Lenovo's configuration guide for your specific ST45 V3 build. Pair with compatible 3.5-inch enterprise hard drives sized for your NVR or server storage requirements. If your deployment calls for 2.5-inch SFF drives, a different cage kit SKU is required — this unit accepts 3.5-inch LFF drives only.

Installation Notes

Installation takes place inside the ST45 V3 chassis bay — consult the ST45 V3 Hardware Maintenance Manual for bay slot assignment and cable routing before fitting the cage. Verify available power connectors and data cable routing from your HBA or onboard SATA/SAS controller prior to installation. Country of origin is Mexico.
