Dell 1708FPf - Statement of Volatility
Summary
Dell 1708FPf and 1908FPf monitor Statement of Volatility certifying that these displays do not save, retain, or reproduce video signals after power removal. Documents internal memory components including 16Mbit serial flash ROM for firmware storage (non-volatile, software write-protected), 8x16Mbit DDR SDRAM as video decoder buffer (volatile), 32x16Mbit DDR2 SDRAM for video processing (volatile), and 4Kbit system EEPROM for factory settings (non-volatile). Confirms no user or OS data is written to memory during normal operation. Intended for security compliance officers verifying data handling properties of Dell LCD monitors.

Statement of Volatility – Dell 1708FPf, 1908FPf Monitor
The purpose of this document is to certify that Dell’s XXXX 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 XXXX monitor contains both volatile and 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.
List below contains volatile and non volatile memory ICs used in Dell XXXX monitor.
Flash ROM NA Size 16 Mbit Type [e.g. Flash PROM, EEPROM] Serial flash memory Volatility Non-volatile Can user programs or operating system write data to it during normal operation? No Purpose To store firmware How is data input to this Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided memory? firmware file How is this memory write protected? Software write protected
DDR SDRAM NA Size 8x16 Mbit Type [e.g. Flash PROM, EEPROM] DDR SDRAM Volatility Volatile Can user programs or operating system write data to it during normal operation? No Purpose Buffer of video decoder How is data input to this Video is received by video decoder chip(CVBS processor) memory? and processed in SDRAM. How is this memory write protected? No write protect mechanism
DDR2 SDRAM NA Size 32x16 Mbit
