Raspberry Pi 5 cluster chassis

This 2U rack mount holds up to ten Raspberry Pi 5 units in a standard 19-inch frame. It is built for developers and labs that want a dense, organised cluster without custom enclosures. The steel construction keeps the boards aligned and secure for continuous operation. Only Raspberry Pi 5 hardware is supported.

Passive thermal design

The open steel frame lets ambient airflow move across every board and the ten NVMe slots. No fans are integrated, so acoustic output depends entirely on the room or rack cooling. Power reaches each Pi through PoGOPin connectors on the GPIO header, eliminating external adapters. Heat dissipation scales with the workload you run.

Ten NVMe adapters and I2C breakout

Ten PCIe-to-M.2 adapters are included, accepting 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 NVMe drives for high-speed local storage. A Groove connector brings I2C and serial lines to the panel edge for sensor or console attachments. A rear GPIO-driven LED acts as a unit identifier for rack management. Builders needing more than ten nodes or non-Pi 5 boards must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 2U rack into a 19-inch cabinet and what step is often missed?

Secure the rack ears to the cabinet rails with cage nuts, then insert each Raspberry Pi 5 into the PoGOPin power slots so the GPIO pins make contact — skipping the pin alignment is the common error.

Which parts will need replacement after extended use?

The M.2 NVMe SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factors are the only field-replaceable components; the steel chassis and PCIe carrier boards have no user-serviceable parts.

What is the first limit reached when all ten bays run sustained write workloads?

The PCIe lane bandwidth shared across the 10 NVMe slots becomes the bottleneck before thermal or power limits appear.
