Statement of Volatility – Dell Opti Plex 7080 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 7080 Tower 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 Tower motherboard: List of Non-Volatile Components on System Board

Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing the power cord erase user data?

Yes, primary power loss destroys all user data on the memory (DDR4).

Does removing the coin cell battery erase system settings?

Yes, secondary power loss destroys system configuration and time-of-day information.

Which power states does the Dell OptiPlex 7080 support?

The system supports S0, S1, S3, S4, and S5 states.

How is memory handled in the S3 'suspend to RAM' state?

Dynamic RAM is maintained, and data is preserved if supported by the OS.
