Yikes!

Okay... is there a possibility that you have one of the cards that has the 
label on the wrong side and you effectively happened to get the card in 
upside down?

If you feel on the back edge of the card, there's a small lip that extends 
about 1/32" above the large flat surface. That lip should be down when you 
insert the card. Another check is to check on the sides of the card... 
You'll see that there is a wide slot on one side, and a narrow slot on the 
other. The wide slot should go to the right when the card is inserted.

I just tried putting my card in upside down, and it's pretty difficult to 
do, so this may not be the issue.

If the card is orientated correctly, then I think your next stop is to 
contact Electrix for a replacement. I would suggest talking to Damon:

   Damon Langlois <Damon@Electrixpro.com>

Or the generic support address:

   support@electrixpro.com
