Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 V2 Cable Kit

This Lenovo cable kit connects optical drives or tape units inside the ThinkSystem ST250 V2 server. It provides the necessary internal signal and power links for those peripherals. The part number 4X97A81465 identifies the exact kit for this chassis. Supplied new, it is ready for immediate installation.

Suits ST250 V2 owners adding ODD or tape

Administrators expanding a ThinkSystem ST250 V2 with an optical drive or tape backup device need this kit. It is not for other server models, different chassis sizes, or external drive enclosures. Builders without an internal bay for these peripherals will not use it. The cables are specific to the ST250 V2 internal layout.

Cable kit for internal ODD and tape connection

The defining specification is the kit's compatibility with the ThinkSystem ST250 V2 chassis for optical and tape drives. No other server or drive type is supported by this part number. Confirm the server model before ordering. The kit contains only the cables required for that specific internal interface.

Questions about this item

Does the 4X97A81465 cable kit add any audible noise or heat inside the ST250 V2 chassis?

The cable kit is a passive wiring harness with no fans or active electronics, so it generates no noise or measurable heat during continuous operation.

Which drive or tape unit must I already have to use the 4X97A81465 kit in my ST250 V2?

You need a compatible optical drive or tape drive that fits the ST250 V2 front bay and matches the connector type supplied by the 4X97A81465 kit.

Will the 4X97A81465 cable kit work with older ThinkSystem ST250 (non-V2) drive bays?

The kit is designed specifically for the ST250 V2 chassis layout; compatibility with the original ST250 is not guaranteed.
