Drive Configuration Changes Error Message
Error Message: Entering the configuration utility in this
state will result in drive configuration changes.
Press 'Y' to continue loading the configuration
utility or please power off your system and check your
cables to ensure all disks are present and reboot.
Probable Cause: The message is displayed after another BIOS warning
indicating there are problems with previously configured disks and you have
chosen to accept any changes and continue. The SAS cables for your system
might be improperly connected.
Corrective Action: Check the cable connections and fix any problems.
Restart the system. If there are no cable problems, press any key or <Y> to
continue.
Adapter at Baseport not Responding Error Message
Error Message: Adapter at Baseport xxxx is not responding,
where xxxx is the baseport of the controller.
Corrective Action: Contact Dell Technical Support.
Offline or Missing Virtual Drives With Preserved Cache Error Message
Error Message: There are offline or missing virtual drives
with preserved cache. Please check the cables and
ensure that all drives are present. Press any key to
enter the configuration utility.
Probable Cause: The controller preserves the dirty cache from a virtual disk if
the disk becomes offline or is deleted because of missing physical disks. This
preserved dirty cache is called pinned cache, and is preserved until you import
the virtual disk, or discard the cache.
Corrective Action: Use the <Ctrl><R> utility to import the virtual disk or
discard the preserved cache. For the steps used to manage preserved cache,
see
"Managing Preserved Cache" on page 68.
