Troubleshooting solenoid breakout

Our solenoids aren't activating and we would like some suggestions for troubleshooting the problem. The NI 9472 is in cRio slot 8 and our LabVIEW code is configured for slot 8. The breakout board is wired for 24V from the cRio power connector on the PDB, as shown in the FIRST 24V solenoid wiring diagram, and we're using 24V solenoids. The power indicator LED on the back of the breakout board is lit, but none of the 8 LEDs on the 9472 light when activating solenoids. I measured ~0V across the end of the cable connected to the breakout whether a solenoid was activated or not. We tried moving the 9472 to slot 7 and updating the code, but got the same results. I tried searching CD but didn't see any threads specifically relevant. We would appreciate any troubleshooting advice you may offer. Thanks.
