Secure erase when RAID Drive Group deleted?

I have a question regarding the way WebBIOS utility erases RAID drive groups on UCS Server. In the documentation, I found this warning: 


Caution If you choose Clear Configuration or New Configuration, all existing data in the configuration is deleted. Back up data that you want to keep before you choose a configuration type.
Under Choosing the Configuration with the Configuration Wizard at this link

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/sw/raid/configuration/guide/RAID_GUIDE/MegaRAID.html#41190

I am interested in how does Clear Configuration delete the data on the disk. Is there some overwrite involved? Would you call it secure erase? Our IT Security team wants to make sure the data is securely erased from a server we are planning to use for a different purpose at another location.
