Erase
Use the Erase Utility to clear hard drives and the Active Health System logs, and to reset RBSU or UEFI
System Utilities settings.
CAUTION:
Perform a backup before running the Erase Utility. The utility sets the system to its original factory
state, deletes the current hardware configuration information, including array setup and disk
partitioning, and erases all connected hard drives completely. Based on your selections in this utility,
the Erase Utility erases data from the specified areas of the system. Existing data and system
configuration settings are lost
