## Long description

Lenovo storage cable kit 4X97A87505 provides the cabling required to connect a chassis front expander or drive backplane for 3.5" and 2.5" drives. The kit is intended for system integrators and service technicians who need manufacturer-matched connectors and appropriate cable lengths to route data and power inside servers or workstations. It helps ensure compatibility and stable operation when replacing or upgrading multi-drive backplanes.
Advantages
The kit includes cables and connectors that match Lenovo chassis front expander and backplane interfaces, reducing the risk of mismatch during installation. Using OEM-matched cabling supports reliable signal integrity for SATA/SAS data paths and consistent power delivery to multiple drive bays. Pre-cut lengths and connector types simplify internal routing and reduce installation time compared with ad-hoc cabling. The kit is suitable for standard rack and tower chassis layouts where organized, validated cabling is required.
Suitable for
Replacing a faulty chassis front expander or drive backplane in a server or workstation
Upgrading from single-drive to multi-drive backplane configurations
System integration tasks requiring manufacturer-compatible internal cabling
Maintenance and field service operations in data center or enterprise environments
Key specifications
Compatible drive sizes: 3.5" and 2.5" drive backplanes
Includes manufacturer-matched data and power cable connectors for chassis front expander/backplane connections
Cable lengths appropriate for internal routing inside standard server and workstation chassis
Designed for use with enterprise-class storage backplanes supporting SATA/SAS drives
Durable connector housings and shielded conductors to maintain signal integrity
How to use
Power down the system and follow ESD-safe procedures before beginning work. Remove the chassis cover to access the drive bay area and locate the front expander or backplane connections. Disconnect existing cables, noting connector orientation and routing paths. Install the new cables from the kit by seating connectors firmly on the backplane and the host interface or power distribution point, ensuring secure mechanical latches where present. Route cables along existing tie points or channels to avoid obstructing fans or airflow, then replace the chassis cover and power on the system to verify drive detection and proper operation.
Usage recommendations
For reliable installation, use the kit with compatible Lenovo chassis and backplanes. Verify connector types and routing before powering the system. When servicing enterprise systems, follow manufacturer maintenance guides and perform a drive discovery test after installation to confirm data and power paths are functioning correctly.
