Statement of Volatility – Dell PowerEdge M830/FC830
Dell PowerEdge M830/FC830 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 userdefinable 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 M830/FC830 server.
