style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Yesterday FedEx brought me my new
TDM400P with 4 FXS modules. I installed it (in the correct type PCI
slot) , plugged in the power, and fired up the system. A few minutes
later everyone in the office is complaining about something burning. I
open the server again, and the top of the Digium card is black, slightly
deformed, and looks and smells of melted plastic. The funny thing is…the
card still works just fine (as far as my testing has revealed, anyway. I
haven’t tried ringing the lines, just placing calls from them). Maybe
this is how Digium knows if a card is returned used or
not?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Still, nothing was touching the
card, it was in the right slot, and it was installed as instructed.
Beats me what happened. I’m just not sure I like spending hundreds
of dollars on a card that arcs and melts when I install it – even if it
continues to work.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
