Statement of Volatility – Dell Latitude E5250/5250 CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell E5250/5250 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 E5250/5250 system board. Table 1.

Frequently Asked Questions
What components lose data when power is removed?
Volatile components lose their data immediately after power removal.
How do I prevent loss of BIOS configuration status?
Removing the on-board coin-cell battery causes secondary power loss but preserves system data related to time-of-day and configuration.
What type of memory must be used in the DIMM slots?
DDR3L SO-DIMM modules are required, and connectivity depends on populating one to two modules.
