Thanks for the input. I either missed the web-based self-test or assumed it was the same as the one included with MAX.
The self calibration, as I previously mentioned, failed with the board disconnected from any cables/inputs. All my previous testing (with the MAX test panels) failed, regardless of using traditional or DAQmx control.
After running the web-based self test, the results are below:

Device 1 did not pass all tests.

I'd post the rest, but it's just message after message of tests failing.
The device won't self calibrate, so I had to abort after a few retries.
It's interesting that the web-based self test is so much more advanced than the MAX self-test, which the board passed. I assume that NI doesn't have a replace-for-free program, so I'll have to return this to my collegue (with the bad news), and find one on ebay or the like.
