Appendix A. Statement Of Volatility; R415 Volatility Table - Dell PowerEdge R415 Technical Manual

Dell
Appendix A.
The Dell PowerEdge R415 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, system
memory, remote access controllers, and storage controllers) is available by component separately. The NV
components detailed in Table 22 are present in the PowerEdge R415 server.
