Statement of Volatility – Dell PowerEdge T30

Dell PowerEdge T30 contains 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. 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 NV components are present in the

PowerEdge T30 server.

Item How is data input to this memory? How is this memory write protected? PSU FW Different vendors have different utilities and tools to load the data to memory. Protected by the embedded microcontroller. Special keys are used by special vendor provided utilities to unlock the ROM with various CRC checks during load.
