Appendix A. Statement of Volatility
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R410 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 14
are present in the PowerEdge R410 server.
