Virtual Disks Partially Degraded Error Message
Error Message:
x Virtual Disk(s) Partially Degraded, where x is the number of
virtual disks partially degraded.
Probable Cause: This message is displayed when the BIOS detects a single disk failure in a RAID 6 or RAID 60
configuration.
Corrective
Action:
You must check why the member disk is not present to correct the problem. The BIOS does not
take any action.
Memory Or Battery Problem Error Message
Error Message:
Memory/Battery problems were detected. The adapter has
recovered, but cached data was lost. Press any key to continue
Probable Cause: The message occurs under the following conditions:
• The adapter detects data in the controller cache that 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 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
controller memory may 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.
