Lenovo 4XH7A61110 SR590/SR630/SR650 2-Bay Rear Backplane X40 Cable
Overview
The Lenovo 4XH7A61110 is a factory-new, genuine 2-bay rear backplane X40 cable designed specifically for Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590, SR630, and SR650 rack servers. If you are expanding rear storage capacity on any of these platforms, this is the cable that connects the rear 2-bay backplane to the system board — without it, the backplane has no signal path and the drives will not be recognized. Ordering the correct cable up front eliminates a service call and keeps your server deployment on schedule.
Key Features
- Platform-specific fit: Engineered for the SR590, SR630, and SR650 server families. These three ThinkSystem platforms share compatible chassis geometry, so a single part number covers all three — reducing the number of spares you need to stock if you operate a mixed fleet.
- Rear 2-bay backplane support: Enables the rear 2-bay drive cage, which is a common upgrade path for adding a dedicated OS boot drive or a secondary fast-access storage tier without consuming front bay real estate.
- X40 interface: The X40 designation indicates the cable is matched to the specific backplane connector standard used in this generation of ThinkSystem servers — using a mismatched cable risks both a physical no-fit and potential signal integrity issues.
- Genuine Lenovo hardware: Sourced as factory-new, genuine Lenovo — not a third-party substitute. Server backplane cables carry firmware and signal-timing requirements that off-brand alternatives may not meet, which can result in intermittent drive detection errors under load.
Compatibility
The 4XH7A61110 is validated for use with the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590, SR630, and SR650. Verify your server's current rear bay configuration and backplane part number against Lenovo's configurator before ordering — rear bay options vary by build configuration and some chassis ship without the rear cage installed. This cable is not compatible with SR550, SR670, or other ThinkSystem models outside the three listed platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which server models does the 4XH7A61110 support?
A: The 4XH7A61110 is designed for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590, SR630, and SR650 rack servers. It is not validated for other ThinkSystem models.
Q: What does the X40 designation mean for this cable?
A: X40 refers to the backplane connector interface standard used in this generation of ThinkSystem servers. The cable must match the backplane connector type — using a mismatched cable will result in a physical incompatibility or signal errors.
Q: Is this a genuine Lenovo part?
A: Yes. The 4XH7A61110 is a factory-new, genuine Lenovo component sourced through authorized distribution channels — not a third-party or grey-market substitute.
Q: Does the rear bay cage need to be installed separately?
A: Yes. This cable connects the rear 2-bay backplane to the system board. If your SR590/SR630/SR650 did not ship with the rear bay cage and backplane installed, those components must also be present for this cable to serve its purpose.

The 4XH7A61110 is one of those parts that causes delays when it is overlooked during a server build. If you are deploying a ThinkSystem SR590, SR630, or SR650 with the optional rear 2-bay cage, this X40 backplane cable is the signal path between that cage and the system board — without it, the drives simply do not appear.
Technical Highlights:
- Multi-platform coverage: A single part number spans the SR590, SR630, and SR650 — useful if you maintain a mixed fleet and want to consolidate your spare parts inventory.
- Rear bay focus: The rear 2-bay position is typically used for boot drives or a high-priority secondary tier. Getting this cable right at build time avoids a return visit to the data center.
- Genuine Lenovo component: Server backplane cables are not interchangeable with generic alternatives — timing and signal specifications are platform-specific, and off-brand substitutes introduce real risk of intermittent drive errors under sustained I/O load.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the rear 2-bay cage and backplane are already installed in your server chassis before ordering — the cable has no function without the backplane hardware in place.
- This cable is specific to the SR590/SR630/SR650 generation. Do not assume it will fit SR550, SR670, or other ThinkSystem models, even if the physical connector looks similar.
The 4XH7A61110 is the right choice when provisioning rear storage capacity on any of the three listed ThinkSystem platforms — particularly in data center environments where a second site visit to install a forgotten cable is expensive.
