sure that you have connected the Ultra ATA signal cable and

installed Ultra ATA 133/100/66 hard disk drives.

devices connected to the IDE RAID connectors.

• The ITE

8212F controller supports a maximum of 2 Ultra ATA hard

disk drives.

• Set both drives either as Master or Slave before configuring a RAID 1

set.
