RS01 1U Rack Mount for Raspberry Pi5 with four RS-P11 Expansion Board for RS-P22 Raspberry Pi5 Supports M.2 NVMe 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSD

Description

The new Raspberry Pi Expansion Board RS-P11 for RS-P22 RPi5 is designed to enhance the functionality of your Raspberry Pi devices with additional interfaces and features. It is tailored for high-density Raspberry Pi clusters and offers a compact solution for advanced projects.

Features

• Dual Front Grove Interfaces: The board features two Grove interfaces on the front for easy access. One interface supports I2C protocol, and the other supports UART protocol.
• Standard Grove Compatibility: Both the I2C and UART interfaces are compatible with standard Grove modules, ensuring a wide range of expandability.
• UID Indicator Light: A front-mounted red LED serves as a UID indicator, using GPIO4, which illuminates with a high logic level for clear status indication.
• OLED Display Integration: The option to include a 0.91-inch OLED screen that communicates with the Raspberry Pi via I2C, displaying customizable information such as CPU usage, memory status, IP address, and serial numbers.
• 3.3V Grove Interface Level: Ensures compatibility with a broad range of Grove sensors and modules that operate at 3.3V.
• PCIe Expansion Support: Includes a motherboard that enables PCIe expansion, allowing the connection of M.2 NVMe SSDs in various form factors (2230/2242/2260/2280).
• PCIe NVMe Support: Exclusively on Raspberry Pi 5, the board supports the PCIe NVMe functionality for high-speed data storage options.
• Front Power Input: Offers a USB-C interface for front power input, making it convenient for power supply in dense cluster setups.

Caution: Do not simultaneously connect the power supply to both the Raspberry Pi's USB-C power port and the bottom expansion board's USB-C port. Doing so may damage the equipment.

• Application Scenarios: Ideal for high-density Raspberry Pi clusters where space and accessibility are crucial.
