Lenovo 4XH7A60977 SR630 V2 Rear 2X7MM SATA RAID KIT

Lenovo 4XH7A60977 SR630 V2 Rear 2x7mm SATA RAID Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XH7A60977 is a rear drive bay expansion kit that adds two 7mm SATA drive slots to the ThinkSystem SR630 V2, enabling RAID configurations without consuming front-bay or PCIe slot resources. If you're deploying the SR630 V2 as an NVR host, edge compute node, or data-capture server and need dedicated local storage for OS or logging without touching the primary drive cage, this kit is the correct path. The 4XH7A60977 installs into the rear of the chassis and connects via SATA — keeping the front bays free for higher-capacity mission-storage drives.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 (1U rack server). This kit is not a universal fit — it is chassis-specific and will not install correctly in the SR630 (Gen 1), SR650, SR650 V2, or other ThinkSystem platforms. Confirm your chassis is the SR630 V2 before ordering. The SATA interface means compatible drives must be 7mm SATA form factor (2.5-inch slim) — standard 9.5mm SATA drives will not seat correctly. Pair with a network video recorder deployment on SR630 V2 hardware when dedicated rear OS or cache storage is required alongside primary front-bay NVR storage. For server storage planning in multi-camera environments, separating OS/boot drives from recording storage on dedicated rear bays reduces I/O contention and simplifies maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation is internal to the SR630 V2 chassis — requires standard server disassembly procedure with the system powered down and removed from the rack. Route SATA cables to the onboard controller or RAID adapter; verify the RAID controller in your SR630 V2 configuration supports the rear bay before ordering. The kit ships at 10 lb, which reflects packaged weight including mounting hardware — the installed component weight is significantly lower. No tools beyond standard server kit (Torx or Phillips depending on backplane variant) are documented in the available evidence.
