Lenovo 4Z57A14086

Overview

The Lenovo 4Z57A14086 is an intrusion cable kit designed specifically for the ThinkSystem ST250 server. It provides a direct hardware connection that enables the server to detect when its chassis has been opened, giving IT staff immediate alerts about potential tampering or unauthorized access. This kit integrates seamlessly with the server’s existing cable routing and connectors, making installation straightforward even for technicians new to the platform.

By feeding chassis-intrusion signals to the system board, it allows monitoring through Lenovo XClarity or the server’s baseboard management controller. This solution is well suited for small business environments, branch offices, or labs where critical workloads run on a single server without constant on-site supervision, helping maintain system integrity with minimal complexity.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
