Lenovo ThinkSystem SR645 8x2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Cable Kit

The Lenovo 4X97A59768 is an eight-drive 2.5 inch SAS and SATA backplane cable kit created for the ThinkSystem SR645 server. It arrives with the backplane itself plus three factory-matched SATA cables, so every essential component is ready for installation as soon as you open the box.

This kit is a direct fit for SR645 models 7D2X and 7D2Y, eliminating the trial-and-error that often comes with third-party parts. Slide the backplane into the server’s drive bay area, attach the bundled cables to your system board, and you are prepared to add up to eight SAS or SATA drives without adapters or custom wiring.

Because the backplane accepts both SAS and SATA drives, you have the flexibility to combine higher-performance SAS SSDs with cost-effective SATA HDDs in the same chassis. Administrators who want to expand a virtualisation host, build a small business database server, or increase capacity in a branch-office appliance can do so quickly while maintaining Lenovo service compliance.

The kit is equally useful for larger IT environments. Data center teams can keep one on hand for rapid replacement during drive-bay repairs, ensuring minimal downtime. Cabling is colour-coded and cut to length, which helps preserve airflow and keeps cable management straightforward in densely populated racks.
