Statement of Volatility – Dell EMC Power Edge XR11 Dell EMC Power Edge XR11 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 Power Edge XR11 server.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clear the BIOS configuration settings?
Set the NVRAM_CLR jumper to clear BIOS control, power off, remove the coin cell battery for 30 seconds, replace it, and power back on.
Can I clear the iDRAC volatile memory data?
User data, lifecycle logs, and firmware images can be cleared by accessing the Lifecycle Controller interface and selecting Delete Configuration and Retire System.
How much memory can the PowerEdge XR11 support?
It supports up to 256GB per system using RDIMM and LRDIMM memory.
Is the volatile memory protected?
System volatile memory is protected during normal operation, and volatile MCU information on risers is protected and not auto-updated or visible to the host.
