2-Pack 3.5" Drive Caddy for Lenovo ThinkSystem

This 2-pack provides OEM-exact replacement caddies matching Lenovo part SM17A06251. Each tray secures a 3.5" SAS or SATA drive in compatible ThinkSystem rack, tower and edge servers. The sturdy metal build resists vibration for reliable long-term operation in datacentre environments.

Suits multi-server upgrades and RAID expansion

Administrators expanding storage arrays across SR, ST, SN or HR series servers will value the direct fit and bundled quantity. Buyers needing 2.5" drive support or tool-less plastic carriers should look at other solutions because these trays accept only 3.5" drives and use a metal screw-mount design.

OEM part SM17A06251 guarantees plug-and-play fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the Lenovo part number SM17A06251; if your server's service manual lists this number the caddies will install without modification. Any other part number means the trays will not align or lock correctly.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SM17A06251 caddy into a ThinkSystem SR630 server, and what step is often missed?

Slide the 3.5" SAS or SATA drive into the metal tray, secure it with the included screws, then insert the assembly into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the drive registers on the backplane.

What maintenance or replacement will the SM17A06251 caddy need after extended use in a rack server?

The metal tray itself rarely wears out; plan to inspect the latch spring and screw threads during drive swaps, and replace the caddy only if the latch no longer locks or the screw holes strip.

What is the first limit that appears when the SM17A06251 caddy runs continuously in a ThinkSystem SR850?

The caddy adds no thermal or electrical limit; the first constraint is the drive's own sustained transfer ceiling or the backplane's SAS/SATA link speed, not the bracket.
