USB Power Management & Hub Sizing
Before You Start
USB selective suspend and undersized bus-powered hubs cause the majority of "random offline" tickets on phone farms.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Disable USB selective suspend on control PC (Windows power settings).
- Use **powered** industrial hubs rated for continuous mirror load.
- Keep data cables under 1m on USB 3.0 mirror paths.
- Document hub model, chipset, and port-to-node map on chassis label.
- Never exceed ~16 active high-res mirrors per consumer hub controller.
Troubleshooting Checklist
- Afternoon-only drops: thermal or PSU sag—check voltage and fan dust.
- One port bad: rotate node to isolate cable vs board vs hub port.
