The card is *most certainly* locked up.

This is mostly normal.  Sometimes it will go green immediately, sometimes it 
will go orange for a few seconds, then green.  It all depends on the exact 
state of the card/driver.

Not true; this is only a "known issue" for those who do not run asterisk as 
root.

What happens when you plug a loopback plug in to the T1?  (pin 1->4, 2->5) -- 
the TE110P should go up and stay up, and if it's a PRI it should be 
complaining about CPE/CO side.

Call Digium and either get the card RMA'd or let them get in to your machine 
ot see what they can do.  (likely the latter before the former).  This is 
*not* normal.

Agreed 100%.  This is either a mainboard/card compatiblity issue or a dead 
card.  Either way, Digium can help you if you call/email their support and 
get the procedure started.  Support is included in that $500 price tag.
