Statement of Volatility – Dell Opti Plex 7080 MFF 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 7080 MFF contains both volatile and non-volatile 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. The following volatile and NV components are present on the Dell Opti Plex 7080 MFF motherboard: List of Non-Volatile Components on System Board

CAUTION: All other components on the motherboard will lose data once power is removed from the system. Primary power loss (Unplug the power cord and remove the battery) will destroy all user data on the memory (DDR4, CML-S (2666MHz), (2933MHz)). Secondary power loss (removing the on board coin cell battery) will destroy system data on the system configuration and time-of-day information.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much system memory can the Dell OptiPlex 7080 MFF hold?

The system supports 4 GB to 32 GB of RAM using one to two DIMM modules.

What happens to data when the system is powered off?

Removing power destroys user data on volatile components like DDR4 memory, though non-volatile components retain data.

Which power states does the Dell OptiPlex 7080 MFF support?

The system supports S0 (working), S1, S3 (suspend to RAM), S4 (suspend to disk), and S5 (soft off).

What is the difference between volatile and non-volatile components?

Volatile components lose data immediately when power is removed, while non-volatile components retain data even without power.
