Statement of Volatility – Dell 1908FPc Monitor
The purpose of this document is to certify that Dell’s 1908FPc monitor will not save, retain or reproduce
a signal to any internal or external component after power has been removed and reapplied to the unit.
The Dell 1908FPc monitor contains non-volatile (NV) memory ICs. Volatile memory(s) lose their data
immediately upon removal of power. Non-volatile memory ICs continue to retain their data even after
the power has been removed. However, no input video data is written into these memory ICs during
operation.
