Statement of Volatility – Dell EMC PowerEdge

XE7100, XE7420, XE7440

Dell EMC PowerEdge XE7100, XE7420, XE7440 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.

Configuration option information (pertinent to options such as microprocessors, remote access controllers , and

storage controllers) is available by component separately. The following NV components are present in the

PowerEdge XE7100, XE7420, XE7440 server.
