Statement of Volatility – Dell Precision 3560
CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem.
The Dell Precision 3560 contains both volatile and non-volatile components. Volatile components lose their
data immediately after power is removed from the component. Non-volatile components continue to retain
their data even after power is removed from the component. The following Non-volatile components are
present on the Precision 3560 system board.

CAUTION: All other components on the system board lose data if power is removed from the system. Primary power loss (unplugging the
power cord and removing the battery) destroys all user data on the memory (DDR4, 3200 MHz). Secondary power loss (removing the onboard coin-cell battery) destroys system data on the system configuration and time-of-day information.

In addition, to clarify memory volatility and data retention in situations where the system is put in different
ACPI power states the following is provided (those ACPI power states are S0, S4, S5 and Modern Standby):
S0 state is the working state, where the dynamic RAM is maintained and is read/write by the processor.
Modern standby is a standby mode state that is different from S3 mode. In this state, the dynamic RAM is
maintained.
S4 is called suspend to disk state or hibernate mode, with no power. In this state, the dynamic RAM is not
maintained. If the system has been commanded to enter S4, the operating system writes the system context
to a non-volatile storage file and leave appropriate context markers. When the system comes back to the
working state, a restore file from the non-volatile storage can occur. The restore file must be valid. Dell
systems will be able to go to S4 if the operating system and the peripherals support S4 state. Windows
10/8.1/7 support S4 state.
S5 is the soft off state, with no power. The operating system does not save any context to wake up the
system. No data will remain in any component on the system board, that is cache or memory. The system
requires a complete boot when awakened. Since S5 is the shut off state, coming out of S5 requires power on
which clears all registers.
The following table shows all the states supported by Dell Precision 3560:
