Dell PowerEdge R310 Technical Guide 78
Appendix B. Statement of Volatility
The Dell PowerEdge R310 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 to the motherboard) are not included in the Statement of
Volatility. Configuration option information (pertinent to options such as
microprocessors, system memory, remote access controllers, and storage controllers)
is available by component separately. The following Non-volatile components are
present in the PowerEdge R310 server.

Type [e.g., Flash PROM, EEPROM]:
Can user programs or operating system write
data to it during normal operation?
No
Purpose? [e.g., boot code] Boot Code, System Configuration
information, EFI environment
How is data input to this memory? Loading flash memory requires a vendor
provided firmware file and loader
program which is executed by booting up
the system from a floppy or OS based
executable containing the
firmware file and the loader. System
loaded with arbitrary data in firmware
memory would not operate.
How is this memory write protected?
