Description

Lenovo 4XH7A86759 SR655 V3 8x2.5" AnyBay Gen5 Backplane Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XH7A86759 is a storage backplane upgrade kit for the ThinkSystem SR655 V3 rack server, providing eight 2.5-inch AnyBay drive bays with Gen5 connectivity. AnyBay architecture means each bay can accept NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives — letting you mix storage tiers in a single backplane rather than being locked into one protocol. This matters in deployments where a subset of workloads demands NVMe latency while the remainder can run on lower-cost SAS or SATA capacity drives.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 server platform. The 8x2.5-inch AnyBay configuration maps to the front drive cage of the SR655 V3 — confirm your chassis bay configuration against Lenovo's SR655 V3 option compatibility matrix before ordering, as multiple backplane configurations exist for this platform. Not compatible with SR655 (non-V3), SR650, or other ThinkSystem generations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires powering down the server and following Lenovo's ThinkSystem SR655 V3 Hardware Maintenance Guide for backplane replacement — including proper ESD precautions, cable routing to the system board, and securing the backplane to the drive cage bracket. Confirm cable kit inclusion separately; backplane signal and power cables for the SR655 V3 may be sold as discrete option kits depending on base server configuration. This kit ships at 70 lb, which reflects packaged weight including protective shipping materials — plan accordingly for rack room delivery logistics.
