¶ Argon Industria PoE+ HAT Series for Raspberry Pi 5
The Argon Industria PoE+ series is a high-performance power solution for the Raspberry Pi 5, enabling power and data delivery via a single Ethernet cable (IEEE 802.3af/at).
CRITICAL ASSEMBLY NOTE: To maintain safe operating temperatures under PoE+ loads, these HATs must be used with the Argon THRML 30mm Active Cooler. The cooler must be installed on the Pi board before the HAT is mounted.
¶ 1. Mandatory Accessory: Argon THRML 30mm Active Cooler
The Argon THRML 30-AC is designed to fit perfectly beneath the Argon PoE+ HATs.
¶ Key Features
Tunnel Type Radiator: Maximizes airflow synergy with the HAT's physical footprint.
Integrated 30mm PWM Blower: 8000 RPM max speed, controlled directly by the Pi 5.
Tool-less Mounting: Uses quick-snap push pins for a secure fit.

|---|---|
| Material | High-grade Aluminum (Black or Silver finish) |
| Input Voltage | 5V DC (via Pi 5 4-pin fan header) |
| Max Airflow | 1.09 CFM |
| Control Type | PWM |
¶ 2. Product Versions
¶ Argon Industria PoE+ HAT (Standard)
Designed for industrial automation and high-density clusters.
Input: IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ (36V ~ 57V DC).
Output: Regulated 5V/5A (25W) to Raspberry Pi 5.
Form Factor: Standard Raspberry Pi HAT.
¶
¶ Argon Industria PoE+ NVMe HAT (Storage Version)
Adds high-speed storage capabilities to the PoE+ power delivery.
Storage Support: Integrated M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs (Sizes 2230 / 2242).
Connection: Utilizes the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe port via a dedicated flex cable.
¶ 3. Step-by-Step Assembly Guide
¶ Step 1: Install the Argon THRML 30-AC (Cooler First)
Thermal Prep: Place the included thermal pads onto the CPU, RAM, RP1 and the PMIC Chip of the Raspberry Pi 5.
Mounting: Align the Argon THRML 30-AC over the Pi 5 and push the mounting pins into the holes until they click.
Fan Power: Plug the 4-pin fan cable into the fan header on the Raspberry Pi 5.
¶ Step 2: Install the PoE+ HAT
For the Standard PoE+ HAT:
Align the HAT with the 40-pin GPIO and the 4-pin PoE header.
Press down firmly to seat the pins.
For the PoE+ NVMe HAT (The Cable-First Method):
Lower Connection: Mount the PCIe flex cable to the PCIe port on the Raspberry Pi 5 first.
Mount HAT: Align the HAT with the GPIO and PoE headers and press down to seat it.
Upper Connection: Mount the other end of the PCIe flex cable to the NVMe PCIe port on the HAT. This order is much easier than trying to reach the ports after the HAT is secured.
SSD Install: Insert your M.2 2230/2242 drive and secure it with the screw.
