Hi Casey, I haven't swapped the cards from slot to slot just yet only the optical cables just to verify that it was'nt the cables. I have no reason to suspect that the cards are the problem as I was using them without issue prior to the aquisition of the HDR. That said, it will be my next move. The chips are installed correctly as they impossible to install incorrectly, they can only be installed one way.

I thought perhaps I was overlooking a setting but I dont think so.. Everything seems to be set up correctly on the D8B set up page as well as the HDR... If all else fails, I have a second D8B that I can set up to trouble shoot this with.

Any other thoughts regarding what I may be overlooking are certainly welcomed.
Cheers

been swapping the cards around and the OPT- 8 worked fine in all the cards slots. Interestingly enough I left the OPT-8 in 1-8 and rotated the DIO-8's .. I now have signal from 1-16 and they are working perfectly. I think the troubleshooting is leading towards a bad firmware chip in one the the DIO-8's. Probably have to swap some chips later on tonight to rule this theory in our out!
