Installing an I/O Card after Confirming the Card Matches the Slot (PCI PCIe Other)

To install an I/O card, ensure the power is off, open the computer case, locate the appropriate slot, align the card with the slot, gently push it in until it clicks, secure it with a screw or clip, and then close the case.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the process:
1. Preparation:
Power Down and Disconnect:
Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord to prevent any electrical hazards.
Open the Computer Case:
Remove the side panel of your computer case to access the internal components.
Identify the Slot:
Locate the appropriate expansion slot for the I/O card. This might be a PCI, PCIe slot or another type of slot specific to your system.
2. Installation:
Align the Card: Carefully align the I/O card with the selected slot, ensuring that the connectors match.
Insert the Card: Gently push the I/O card into the slot until it clicks into place.
Secure the Card: If necessary, secure the card with a screw or clip on the back of the case.
3. Finishing Touches:
Close the Case: Reattach the side panel of the computer case.
Reconnect Power: Plug the power cord back in.
Turn on the computer and Install Drivers if required. Test: Verify that the I/O card is functioning correctly.

Description
PCI IDE RAID CONTROLLER: PATA RAID Controller Card (2-Ports) iTE IT8212F

The IT8212, or more correctly the IT8212F, is a low-end Parallel ATA controller designed by ITE Tech. Depending on the implemented BIOS and configuration the IT8212F functions in either a RAID or an ATAPI mode, supporting up to four devices using dual channels. The raid mode only supports IDE Hard Disk Drives and includes RAID 0, RAID 1, Raid 0+1 and JBOD, along with a "normal" mode that essentially acts as a standard Hard Disk controller. Optical disk drives such as CD-ROM and DVD drives are supported by the ATAPI mode, which also supports Hard Disk Drives at the loss of all RAID functions. RAID functions are implemented by an embedded microprocessor, thus is not a so-called "Soft raid" controller.

Devices based on ITE's IT8212F fall into two distinct forms: add-on cards, and components embedded into the motherboards of personal computers. ITE make neither of these end products, instead selling either the controller or manufacture rights, along with reference designs, to third parties for use in their end products. Different implementations have significant incompatibilities, requiring BIOS updates and/or converting from one feature set to another in driver code, causing inconvenience to users.

The controller's BIOS is normally stored in a dedicated on-board Flash Memory Device, except that when the controller is integrated into a motherboard its BIOS and the motherboard's BIOS are often combined into one. Upgrading the BIOS can be difficult at best. Some controllers have one-time programmable memory chips, which cannot be altered at all. Others use devices not supported by ITE's BIOS-flashing utility, though some users have reported success with the utility Uniflash. The BIOS cannot be configured for both RAID and ATAPI functioning at once, so users may be prevented by a manufacturer's decision from changing between these modes.
