Lenovo 4XH7A96834 SR630 V4 10X2.5IN Anybay G5 BP KIT

Lenovo 4XH7A96834 SR630 V4 10x2.5" Anybay Gen5 Backplane Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XH7A96834 is a 10-bay 2.5-inch Anybay Gen5 backplane kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR630 V4 rack server. 'Anybay' means the backplane supports mixed drive types — NVMe SSDs and SAS/SATA drives can occupy the same bay row without a dedicated expander card for each protocol, giving storage architects flexibility to shift between all-flash NVMe and hybrid SAS/SATA configurations using a single backplane assembly. This matters in dense compute environments where storage requirements evolve faster than server refresh cycles. At 10 lb, this is a complete kit — not a single bracket — sized for the SR630 V4's standard 1U front-bay layout.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V4 server platform. The Anybay Gen5 designation indicates PCIe Gen5 NVMe signaling support on the backplane, which aligns with the SR630 V4's CPU and controller architecture. This kit is not interchangeable with SR630 V2 or V3 backplanes — connector pinouts and mechanical mounting differ across SR630 generations. Verify your SR630 V4 chassis configuration and storage controller (HBA/RAID adapter) before ordering; Gen5 NVMe backplanes require a compatible Gen5-capable HBA or onboard controller to deliver full bandwidth. For NVR and server-based video storage builds on the SR630 V4, this backplane supports the drive density needed for multi-channel 24/7 retention workloads.

Installation Notes

Country of origin is Mexico (MX). Installation follows standard Lenovo SR630 V4 field-replacement procedures — consult the SR630 V4 Hardware Maintenance Guide for backplane connector seating torque and cable routing specific to the 10x2.5" bay configuration. Ensure the server is fully powered down and discharged before handling the backplane assembly. No third-party tools beyond standard server toolkit (Torx/Phillips, anti-static precautions) are required for a typical swap.
