About the 7Y37A01087
The Lenovo 7Y37A01087 is an external 8-port 12Gb SAS/SATA RAID controller designed to attach external high-density JBOD disk expansion shelves to Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. Based on the Broadcom SAS3516 ROC with 4GB flash-backed cache, it manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 disk volumes across external arrays such as the Lenovo Storage D1212 and D1224.
Compatibility
Compatible across Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650, SR630, SR850, and ST550 servers equipped with standard PCIe slots. It features two external Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) connectors located on the rear bracket. It is designed specifically for external DAS connectivity and cannot be connected to internal chassis drive cages.
How to identify a genuine unit
The card features an official Lenovo label listing option code 7Y37A01087, FRU part number 01KN510, and feature code AUNL. Two external SFF-8644 ports with retention latches are mounted on the rear metal bracket. The XClarity Controller inventory reports the board as ThinkSystem RAID 930-8e 4GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter.
Buying used
When evaluating a pre-owned 930-8e controller, inspect the external SFF-8644 port shielding for bent pins or worn retention latches. Confirm that the card comes complete with its flash power backup module and internal power lead. Test both external ports with active 12Gb SAS cables to verify error-free PHY links.
