is not responding
where xxxx is the
baseport of the
controller
If the controller does not respond for any reason
but is detected by the BIOS, it displays this
warning and continues.
Turn off the system and try to reseat the
controller. If this message is still displayed,
contact Dell Technical Support.
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.
If a virtual disk becomes offline or is deleted
because of missing physical disks, the controller
preserves the dirty cache from the virtual disk.
This preserved dirty cache is called pinned
cache, and is preserved until you import the
virtual disk, or discard the cache.
Use the Ctrl+R utility to select whether to
import the VD or discard the pinned cache.
For the steps used to manage preserved cache,
see "Managing Preserved Cache" on page 93.
