In order to convert from IR to IT mode one has to first erase the flash memory of the LSI 9211 card using DOS. I got the dreaded "Error: Failed to initiatlize PAL" message which suggests using a different motherboard to do the flashing. I used then an ASUS X-58 board that that seemed to work just fine.
Also just noticed that the X8 PCIe are not slotted on the X9SCM as it was on the X8SCM. Now video card requires X8 to X16 converter which is a bit annoying.
Just wanted to share these tidbits since both of these hardware items were recently reviewed by Patrick.
