•The controller discards the cache rather than sending it to the disk subsystem because the data integrity cannot be guaranteed.
•The battery may be under charged.
Corrective Action: Allow the battery to charge fully to resolve this problem. If the problem persists, the battery or adapter DIMM might be faulty. Contact Dell Technical Support.
Firmware Fault State Error Message
Error Message: Firmware is in Fault State
Corrective Action: Contact Dell Technical Support.
Foreign Configuration Found Error Message
Error Message: 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.
Probable Cause: 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.
Corrective Action: Press <F> at this prompt to import the configuration (if all member disks of the virtual disk are present) without loading the BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl><R>). Or, press <C> to enter the BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl><R>) and either import or clear the foreign configuration.
