Lenovo 7M17A03932 Thinksystem RAID 530-4I 4 Drive Adapter KIT for SN850

Lenovo 7M17A03932 ThinkSystem RAID 530-4i 4-Drive Adapter Kit for SN850

Overview

The Lenovo 7M17A03932 is a factory-configured adapter kit that adds a RAID 530-4i controller and four-drive bay capacity to the ThinkSystem SN850 blade server. If you are expanding local storage in an SN850 chassis — for boot drives, NVMe tiering, or workload isolation — this kit provides the mechanical and electrical interface needed without sourcing controller and tray components separately.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SN850 blade server platform. This kit is not interchangeable with other ThinkSystem blade families (SN550, SN850X, or SD-series nodes) or rack-mount ThinkSystem servers — confirm your chassis generation before ordering. For broader server storage accessories, verify slot availability and backplane compatibility within your specific SN850 configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed at the blade level within an existing Lenovo Flex System or BladeCenter chassis. Ensure the SN850 blade is fully powered down and removed from the chassis before beginning. The RAID 530-4i controller occupies a dedicated internal slot — confirm no conflicting mezzanine or storage expansion card is already installed. Country of origin is Mexico; component sourced through commercial distribution channels as factory-new. Weight is 2.00 lb, which is consistent with a controller-plus-tray kit rather than a bare card — handle and store accordingly to avoid flex damage to the PCIe edge connector.
