Σετ ενεργοποίησης server Lenovo M.2 SATA/NVMe 2-Bay (μοντέλο 4Y37A09738)

Enablement kit for Lenovo servers that provides support for two M.2 drives in SATA or NVMe form factors. This kit is designed to integrate M.2 storage into compatible Lenovo ThinkSystem chassis, supplying the mechanical mounting and internal connections required to install two M.2 modules for system boot, caching, or additional local storage. The kit supports both SATA and NVMe M.2 devices, enabling flexible configuration of storage tiers within a server platform while keeping a compact footprint.

Advantages

The kit allows quick integration of two M.2 SSDs into supported Lenovo server models without modifying the primary drive bays. It supports both SATA and NVMe interfaces, providing compatibility with a wide range of M.2 modules and use cases such as fast boot drives or low-latency cache devices. The solution minimizes cable clutter by using internal connectors and preserves drive bay capacity for larger drives. Designed for server environments, the components are intended for reliable mechanical fit and straightforward installation within approved chassis.

Suitable for

• Adding a pair of M.2 drives for OS boot in a compact server configuration
• Implementing local NVMe or SATA caching to improve application responsiveness
• Providing additional direct-attached storage for database logs or temp files
• Deployments that require small-form-factor high-performance storage without occupying 2.5"/3.5" bays

Key specifications

• Form factor supported: M.2 single-sided modules (SATA and NVMe compatible)
• Number of M.2 slots: 2 internal slots
• Interface compatibility: M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe (PCIe) protocols supported by the server backplane/controller
• Mounting: internal bracket and connector assembly for compatible ThinkSystem chassis
• Usage environment: rack/tower server internal installation (data center/server room)

How to use

Confirm chassis compatibility with the Lenovo server model and server firmware requirements before installation. Power down the server and disconnect power sources, then open the chassis following the manufacturer's service instructions. Mount the two M.2 modules into the provided bracket or sockets, secure them with the supplied fasteners, and attach any internal connector cables to the appropriate headers on the server motherboard or storage backplane. Reassemble the chassis, reconnect power, and enter system setup or the operating system to verify that both M.2 devices are detected and properly configured for the intended use (boot, cache, or additional storage).

Recommendations

Use M.2 modules that are validated for server use and supported by your server's firmware. When configuring for RAID, boot, or caching roles, follow the operating system and storage controller guidelines for driver, firmware, and alignment settings. For critical systems, plan redundancy and backups—M.2 devices are suitable for high performance but should be integrated into an overall data protection strategy.
