Error Message
The cache contains
dirty data, but some
virtual disks are
missing or will go
offline, so the cached
data can not be
written to disk. If
this is an unexpected
error, then please
power off your system
and check your cables
to ensure all disks
are present. If you
continue, the data in
cache will be
permanently discarded.
Press 'X' to
acknowledge and
permanently destroy
the cached data.
Entering the
configuration utility
in this state will
result in drive
configuration changes.

and reboot.

Troubleshooting
(continued)
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
message indicates that
some configured disks were
removed. If the disks were
not removed, they are no
longer accessible. The SAS
cables for your system
might be improperly
connected.
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 restart
the system.
<Ctrl><R>
Use the
utility to import the
virtual disk or discard
the preserved cache.
For the steps to
manage preserved
cache, see "Managing
Preserved Cache" on
page 96.
Check the cable
connections and restart
the system.
If there are no cable
problems, press any key
or <Y> to continue.
