Hello
This white paper has information on how to wipe data on several components:
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20440883
Clearing the PERC non-volatile cache will not delete the data on the drives. You will need to delete the array through the controller BIOS if you want the arrays deleted. If you need the data on the drives deleted then you should use a method approved by your data handling policies. Deleting the NVcache on the PERC is intended to wipe any remaining array data from the PERC after the drives have already been wiped or removed.
Thanks
