Foreign Configurations found on adapter PERC H710, Raid 5

I saw this errors this morning on 2 of my Dell PowerEdge 720 servers with RAID 5 (3 disks) on PERC H710  Controller.
Foreign configurations found on adapter. Press any key to continue or C to load configuration utility.........
All of the disks from your previous configurations are gone. If this is an unexpected message, then please power off you your system and check your cables to ensure all disks are present.
Actions: I ran the PERC H710 BIOS Configuration Utility  and under VD Mgmt Menu we have "No Configuration Present !". Under PD Mgmt, the 3 Disks (SAS) with their IDs & sizes are listed and their State is 'Foreign'. Under Foreign View: the disk group: 0, Raid 5 (foreign).      
 I don't know whether to select "Import foreign config or Clear foreign config. Please help to get back my servers back to normal as I don't want to lose any data.
