Statement of Volatility – Dell Latitude 3460 CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell 3460 contains both volatile and non-volatile (NV) components. Volatile components lose their data immediately after power is removed from the component. Non-volatile (NV) components continue to retain their data even after power is removed from the component. The following NV components are present on the 3460 system board. Table 1.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which components retain data after power is removed?
Non-volatile components like the system BIOS, CMOS, and hard drive retain data after power loss.
How do I prevent data loss during power removal?
Save data to the hard drive and perform a proper shutdown to prevent loss on volatile components like DDR3L memory.
What happens if I remove the coin-cell battery?
Secondary power loss destroys system configuration and time-of-day information stored in CMOS.
What is the maximum supported system memory size?
The system supports between 4GB and 16GB of memory via the two populated SODIMM slots.
