Statement of Volatility Dell EMC PowerEdge C6400 and C6420
The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6400 and C6420 contain both volatile and non-volatile (NV) components. Volatile components lose their data after 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 user-definable
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 components are present in the PowerEdge
C6400 and C6420 servers.
