[Asterisk-Users] How can you check that eg TDM04B hardwareinstalled and drivers OK

[John Novack]

Probably means that your perfectly good motherboard can't see the TDM card.
There are many motherboards that this card doesn't seem to work with, 
Digium doesn't seem willing to address the issue or even acknowledge 
that is the case, and usually answers " try another motherboard" rather 
than 'fess up that there is a design problem with the PCI interface and 
correct it.
PCI 2.2 is a stated requirement, but there is certainly more to the 
story than that.

In addition, when the board CAN be seen, report rev E/F when  the 
silkscreen reads Rev H, someone mentioned there is now a Rev I ( good 
luck getting an exchange ) and Digium 's answer is " if we can see it 
through remote access" then there is no reason to replace it, and if we 
can't, try another MB.

Overall, if it works, lucky you, if not, Too bad.
Hard to support Digium and suggest others purchase such a product.
Best you look for other interfaces to Asterisk.
