The Compute Blade, is a enterprise grade rack-mountable, PoE-powered carrier board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, allowing you to create a blade server.

A blade server is a compact, self-contained computer server, specifically designed to minimize the use of physical space and energy. Unlike traditional rack-mount servers, which are standalone servers that require individual components such as network and storage interfaces, blade servers are housed in a chassis that provides these resources collectively. This setup allows for a high density of servers, which can share power, cooling, networking, and storage facilities provided by the chassis.

Blade servers are particularly suitable for environments requiring high compute density without the need for a lot of individual storage, like web hosting, virtualization, and cloud computing services.

Our aluminum heatsink is engineered for maximum heat dissipation, pulling heat away from your Compute Blade to maintain optimal operating temperatures. This passive cooling technology is essential for high-performance server cooling and contributes to the stable operation of your system.

Absolutely! The heatsink is available in three colors, allowing for a customizable look. You can color-code your individual compute blades for organization or aesthetic preference, adding a personal touch to your efficient cooling solution.

The Uptime Industries Heatsink boasts a thermal conductivity of 229 W/mK, which means it can transfer heat at a very high rate. This level of thermal management is crucial for dissipating heat effectively and ensuring your hardware stays cool under load.

Uptime Industries heatsink is designed specifically for the Compute Blade RC2, V1.0. Its precise dimensions and design integrate seamlessly with your Compute Blade, providing a rack-mountable heat solution without impeding access to your system's components.
