Dell OptiPlex 7000 Tower Statement of Volatility

Summary

Statement of Volatility document for the Dell OptiPlex 7000 Tower desktop, detailing volatile and non-volatile memory components on the system board. Lists non-volatile components including embedded controller flash memory (256KB SRAM), system BIOS chips (32MB and 16MB), TPM module (27600 bytes), RTC CMOS memory (256 bytes), and DIMM SPD EEPROMs. Identifies volatile components such as DDR5 DIMM system memory (8-28GB) and describes remedial actions needed to prevent data loss. Intended for IT security personnel and system administrators managing data governance and compliance requirements.

Statement of Volatility – Dell Opti Plex 7000 Tower CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell Opti Plex 7000 Tower contains both volatile and non-volatile components. Volatile components lose their data immediately after power is removed from the component. Non-volatile components continue to retain their data even after power is removed from the component. The following Non-volatile components are present on the Opti Plex 7000 Tower system board.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the non-volatile components on the system board?

Embedded Flash EC1 memory, System BIOS and Video BIOS chips (U2502 and U2504), SPD EEPROM, and TPM.

What happens to data during a primary power loss?

All user data on the memory (DDR5) is destroyed.

What is the supported memory capacity range?

System memory size ranges between 8 GB and 28 GB depending on DIMM modules.

What is the difference between S3 and S4 states?

S3 maintains dynamic RAM (suspend to RAM) while S4 has no power (suspend to disk/hibernate).
