Statement of Volatility – Dell Vostro 3591
CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you
how to avoid the problem.
The Dell Vostro 3591 contains both volatile and non-volatile (NV) components. Volatile components
lose their data immediately after power is removed from the component. Non-volatile (NV)
components continue to retain their data even after power is removed from the component. The
following NV components are present on the Dell Vostro 3591 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 (DDR3, 1067 MHz). Secondary power loss (removing the on-board coin-cell battery) destroys
system data on the system configuration and time-of-day information.
