Importing or Clearing a Foreign Configuration A foreign configuration is a storage configuration that already exists on a replacement set of drives that you install in a computer system. In addition, if one or more drives are removed from a configuration, by a cable pull or drive removal, for example, the configuration on those drives is considered a foreign configuration by the RAID controller. The WebBIOS CU allows you to import the foreign configuration to the RAID controller, or to clear the configuration so you can create a new configuration using these drives. When you create a new configuration, the WebBIOS CU shows only the unconfigured drives. Drives that have existing configurations, including foreign configurations, will not appear. To use drives with existing configurations, you must first clear the configuration on those drives. If a foreign configuration is detected during POST, press when the following screen appears.

foreign configuration
is a storage configuration that already exists on a

controller, or to clear the configuration so you can create a new configuration using
these drives.
When you create a new configuration, the WebBIOS CU shows only the

configurations, will not appear. To use drives with existing configurations, you
must first clear the configuration on those drives.
