Dell Appendix A. Statement of Volatility The Dell PowerEdge T410 contains both volatile and non-volatile (NV) components. Volatile components lose their data immediately upon removal of power from the component. Non-volatile components continue to retain their data even after the power has been removed from the component. Components chosen as user-definable configuration options (those not soldered to the motherboard) are not included in the Statement of Volatility.
Dell LOM (LAN [Network Interface] on Motherboard) Memory Details Size: 4Mb (1MB) Type: [e.g. Flash PROM, EEPROM]: Flash Can user programs or operating system write data to it during normal operation? Yes, under software control. Purpose? [e.g. boot code] Contains LOM boot code and config data How is data input to this memory? Requires vendor provided firmware file and loader program used during factory assembly or possible field update.
Dell Can user programs or operating system write data to it during normal operation? Yes, OS’s and applications that conform to the TCG standard can write data to the TPM during normal operation. Access to the NV Storage is controlled by the TPM owner. Purpose? [e.g. boot code] Trusted Platform Module NV storage. May be used to securely storage of encryption keys.
Dell Can user programs or operating system write data to it during normal operation? No Purpose? [e.g. boot code] Stores the BMC Firmware How is data input to this memory? Loading flash memory requires a vendor provided firmware file and loader program which is executed by booting up the system from a floppy or OS based executable containing the firmware file and the loader. System loaded with arbitrary data in firmware memory would not operate.
