Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10322:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Four Raspberry Pi 5s, each with its own NVMe SSD, live in a single 19-inch rack unit - and every one of them slides out the front without touching the rack screws. Clustering Raspberry Pis usually means a sprawl of boards, SD cards and power bricks across a shelf. This chassis fixes all of that at once: each Pi rides on its own removable tray with hand-tightened thumbscrews, so swapping a node takes seconds, and every tray carries an RS-P11 expansion board that routes the Pi 5's PCIe lane out to an M.2 NVMe SSD. Each tray also breaks out the Pi's I2C and UART to standard Grove connectors on the front panel, alongside a USB-C power input and a software-controlled red UID LED on GPIO4 - flash it to find the node you're about to pull. The fifth bay carries a 0.91-inch OLED behind an acrylic panel, ready to show CPU load, memory, IP address or serial number for whichever Pi you wire it to (or for the whole cluster). ### Features - Runs four Raspberry Pi 5 nodes in 44 mm of rack height, in any standard 19-inch rack - Full-speed NVMe storage per node - the included boards carry the Pi 5's PCIe lane to an M.2 M-key SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 length - Front-removable trays with hand-tightened thumbscrews, so a node can be pulled and replaced without unracking the chassis - Programmable red UID LED on GPIO4 per node — blink it to physically identify a machine before you touch it - Grove I2C and Grove UART broken out to the front of every tray at 3.3 V logic, for sensors and console access without reaching around the back - Fifth bay ships configured as a 0.91-inch 128x32 OLED panel with fully customisable content, so cluster status is readable at a glance - USB-C power input on each expansion board, keeping power cabling at the front in dense installs - Steel chassis with all mounting hardware, FPC cables and Micro HDMI leads included - no extra shopping list to get the first node running **Important:** do not power a node from the Raspberry Pi's own USB-C port and the expansion board's USB-C port at the same time - use one or the other, or you risk damaging the hardware. *Raspberry Pi 5 boards, NVMe SSDs and power supplies are not included.* ### Specifications | Property | Specification | |---|---| | Form factor | 1U, standard 19-inch rack | | Chassis dimensions | 482 mm (19") wide x 44 mm high | | Bays | 5 total - 4 supplied as Raspberry Pi trays, 1 as the OLED panel | | Board compatibility | Raspberry Pi 5 | | Storage | M.2 NVMe M-key SSD, 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 (one per node) | | PCIe | Pi 5 PCIe connector via FPC cable to the RS-P11 board | | Expansion interfaces | 2x Grove per node — 1x I2C, 1x UART | | Logic level | 3.3 V | | Indicator | Red UID LED, controlled on GPIO4 | | Power input | USB-C on expansion board, 5.1 V / 5 A max | | OLED display | 0.91-inch, 128x32 px, I2C | | Tray dimensions | 90 x 58 x 16 mm | | Expansion board dimensions | 100 x 57 mm | | Construction | Metal chassis, acrylic OLED panel | | Weight | 0.82 kg | ### Resources - [52Pi Wiki](https://wiki.52pi.com/index.php?title=DR-0001) - [52Pi RS01 overview video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3ikPYPQZ-M) - [Raspberry Pi documentation — enabling PCIe and NVMe boot](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#pcie) ### What's included - 1x RS01 1U rack mount chassis for Raspberry Pi 5 (with 10x 6#-32 x 6 mm screws pre-fitted) - 4x 52Pi RS-P11 expansion board - 4x FPC cable - 1x 0.91-inch OLED display - 1x acrylic panel shield - 2x acrylic washer - 1x female-to-female jumper wire - 2x Micro HDMI to HDMI cable (0.3 m) - 18x M2.5 x 6 mm ball-head steel screw - 16x M2.5 x 8+4 mm copper pillar - 4x M2.5+1.5 mm SSD copper pillar - 4x M2 x 3 mm flat-head screw - 4x server mount screw and 4x nuts - 1x M3 screwdriver ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/C/E/CE10322-1.jpg)
