Note	① USB 3.0 is equivalent to USB 3.2 Gen1. ② Unless otherwise specified, the Fan header usually is JST-SH type connector. ③ There's PoE header only on the Raspberry Pi official IO board without PoE circuit, which means additional PoE module is required for the official IO board to enable PoE feature. Unless otherwise specified, the PoE feature here stands for integrating 802.3af-compliant PoE circuit (5V/2.5A).

Connecting with Compute Module 5

standard CM5 socket suitable for Compute Module 5 Lite / eMMC series module

* for reference only, please refer to the package content for detailed part list

4G / 5G module compatibility

compatible with communication modules with M.2 B KEY interface

* An additional communication module is required to enable 5G/4G/3G/2G cellular network function, recommended: SIM7600G-H-M.2, SIM8260G-M2, and SIM8262E-M2.

Supports connecting to M.2 NVMe Drive

Faster reading/writing speed compared to the TF card slot of Raspberry Pi, greatly improving reading/writing efficiency of the system or files, Supports booting Pi5 from NVME Solid State Drive

* for reference only, please refer to the package content for detailed part list.

Applicable M.2 drive sizes

NVMe Drive Slot Support

* Only supports the NVMe Protocol Solid State Drives.

Precise cut-out with clear label

each cut-out is completely aligned with the connector

Supports Rail mounting and VASE mounting

Reserved Rail-mount buckle and VASE mounting holes for more convenient installations

for reference only, comes with rail-mount buckle and is compatible with VESA mounting.

Heat Dissipation Design

Aluminum alloy case enables large-area heat conduction and dissipation, combined with heat sink fins, better heat dissipation
