Statement of Volatility – Dell PowerEdge R530xd

Dell PowerEdge R530xd contain 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. R6Configuration 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 R530xd servers.
