Core specs and capacity for planning an H9 job (chassis, power, load, layers)
Likely cause: Pulled from Novastar H9 spec sheet and feature list; gives the load/power/slot numbers needed to size an order and rack plan.

Need to quickly diagnose an H9 fault in the field
Likely cause: Self-test + per-card monitoring are the manufacturer-intended first diagnostic step and pinpoint whether the fault is the H9, a card, or downstream.

Output image becomes blurred when input-source backup is enabled
Likely cause: Explicit Novastar note - backup raises the effective frame rate beyond the cards load capacity when fully utilized.

Section of the LED wall is blank / cabinets dark - H9 output not reaching receiving cards
Likely cause: A blank section is almost always a broken data-hop (bad cable, dead RX card, or mismatched config) rather than the H9 itself; this isolates the hop.
