Lenovo 7XH7A05897 ThinkSystem SR650 GPU Thermal Kit
Overview
The Lenovo 7XH7A05897 is a GPU thermal kit engineered for the ThinkSystem SR650 rack server. When you add a GPU to the SR650, the server's default airflow configuration needs supplemental thermal hardware to maintain safe operating temperatures under sustained compute load — skipping this kit risks thermal throttling or component damage. This option ensures the thermal pathway is properly configured before the GPU goes into production service.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 (7X05, 7X06 series) 2U rack server. Verify your SR650 generation and GPU option against Lenovo's SR650 configuration guide before ordering — not all GPU options or chassis revisions share the same thermal kit part number. Do not attempt to substitute thermal kits across SR650 generations or with other ThinkSystem models such as the SR630 or SR850.
Installation Notes
At 4.20 lb and 20.60 x 11.70 x 7.40 in, the 7XH7A05897 is a full-chassis-width internal component — confirm adequate clearance and follow Lenovo's SR650 hardware maintenance manual for proper seating and retention. Install with the server fully powered down and grounded. No additional tools beyond standard server maintenance equipment are documented in available evidence.
