Lenovo 4XH7A60975 SR630 V2 Rear 2X2.5 Sas/sata BP KIT

Lenovo 4XH7A60975 SR630 V2 Rear 2x2.5 SAS/SATA Backplane Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XH7A60975 is a rear drive backplane kit that adds two 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays to the back of a qualifying ThinkSystem server. The practical use case: when the front bay count isn't enough for your storage layout — whether you're adding OS boot drives, tiered caching SSDs, or expanding capacity in a dense 1U footprint — this kit opens up the rear of the chassis without requiring an external enclosure or a platform change. It ships from the factory as an optional configuration kit, keeping the installation within the server's validated hardware matrix.

Compatibility

The 4XH7A60975 is designed for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 server platform. It is not a universal backplane — do not attempt to install it in SR630 (V1), SR650, or other ThinkSystem chassis. If you are configuring a different 1U or 2U server storage expansion, verify the exact chassis generation before ordering. The kit supports both SAS and SATA drive interfaces, giving you flexibility to pair SAS HDDs, SAS SSDs, or SATA SSDs in the rear bays depending on your controller and cable configuration.

Installation Notes

This is a factory configuration kit intended for installation by qualified server hardware technicians. SAS and SATA interface support means you will need to confirm your RAID/HBA controller has available ports and that the appropriate SFF-8087 or SFF-8643 cables are on hand — the kit does not include drive cables or drives. Rear bay backplane installations in 1U chassis are tight by design; plan for full chassis pull from the rack and verify cable routing before final seating. Cross-reference the SR630 V2 storage configuration guide to confirm controller compatibility with your intended drive type before ordering.
