I Statement of Volatility
HP confirms that Intel-based HP t820 Flexible Thin Client systems contain DDR3 volatile memory
(memory amount depends on the customer configuration). In addition, the motherboard in the condition
originally shipped without subsequent modification or the addition or installation of any applications,
features, or functionality, contain the following nonvolatile memory: Real Time Clock battery backed-up
configuration memory (256 Bytes), DIMM Serial Presence Detect (SPD) configuration data (256 Bytes
per module, 128 Bytes programmable), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) ROM for System BIOS (16M
Bytes) and Super I/O's: masked keyboard ROM (overall 2K Bytes). In addition, these units contain a
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that contains 16K Bytes of non-volatile memory for user data. The
volatile memory will not hold any user data once power has been removed for 30 seconds or longer.
