FAQ
What is a Compute Blade?
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.
What is 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.
Where can I find out more about Uptime Industries, what is their story?
Uptime Industries was founded in April 2023 by Ivan Kuleshov and Sascha Bührle following a successful Kickstarter campaign “Compute Blade: Your Rack-Mountable ARM Cluster,” where the first 12,000 blades were sold and the community expanded.
Based on community requests, Uptime Industries decided in early 2024 to extend the Compute Blade platform with multiple modules and accessories, besides working on its own software products for a holistic Compute Blade experience, innovating in the cluster computing space.
During the same time, a well-recognized VC, TrueVentures, joined forces to expand and scale the Compute Blade platform rapidly besides developing an upcoming edgeAI focused product line.

Our team (buyzero.de) is also dedicated to ensuring you have all the resources you need to succeed with your Compute Blade, please reach out to us if you have any inquiries.
How does the Uptime Industries Heatsink ensure efficient cooling for my Compute Blade?
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.
Can I choose a heatsink that matches the aesthetics of my setup?
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.
What are the benefits of the heatsink's high thermal conductivity rating?
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.
Is the heatsink compatible with all Compute Blade systems?
Our 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.
