Troubleshooting

Memory/Battery problems

were detected. The

adapter has recovered,

but cached data was lost.

Press any key to

continue.

This message occurs under the following
conditions:

• The adapter detects that the cache in the

controller cache has not yet been written to
the disk subsystem.

• The controller detects an error-correcting

code (ECC) error while performing its cache
checking routine during initialization.

• The controller then discards the cache rather

than sending it to the disk subsystem because
the data integrity cannot be guaranteed.

To resolve this problem, allow the battery to
charge fully. If the problem persists, the battery
or adapter DIMM might be faulty. In that case,
contact Dell Technical Support.

Firmware version

inconsistency was

detected. The adapter has

recovered, but cached

data was

lost. Press any key to

continue.

New firmware has been flashed that is
incompatible with the previous version.
The cache contains data that has not been
written to the physical disks and that cannot
be recovered. Check data integrity. You may
need to restore the data from a backup.

Foreign configuration(s)

found on adapter. Press

any key to continue, or

’C’ to load the

configuration utility or

’F’ to import foreign

configuration(s) and

continue.

When a controller firmware detects a physical
disk with existing foreign metadata, it flags the
physical disk as foreign and generates an alert
indicating that a foreign disk was detected.

Press <F> at this prompt to import the
configuration (if all member drives of the
virtual disk are present) without loading the
BIOS configuration utility. Or, press <C> to
enter the BIOS configuration utility and either
import or clear the foreign configuration.
