Dell Precision T1650 Statement of Volatility
Summary
Statement of Volatility for Dell Precision T1650 workstation. Volatile components include DDR3 DIMM memory (1-8 GB) and video UMA memory. Non-volatile components include embedded flash (96K bytes), System BIOS SPI flash (4-8 MB), TPM module (4K bytes), DIMM SPD EEPROM, and RTC CMOS battery-backed memory. Power-off clears volatile data. Targets security professionals and government agencies requiring data sanitization compliance.

Statement of Volatility – Dell Precision T1650 CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell Precision T1650 contains both “volatile” and “non-volatile” (NV) 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 Precision T1650 motherboard:

Frequently Asked Questions
What power state should I use if I need to save my system context?
Use S4, or “suspend to disk” (hibernate) mode, which writes the system context to non-volatile storage.
If I lose primary power, what data is at risk on the memory?
Primary power loss will destroy all user data stored in components like DDR3 memory.
What information does the SPD store on a DIMM module?
It stores the memory manufacturer data and timing information required for correct system operation.
How large can my total system memory be?
The size depends on the populated DIMM modules, resulting in a total capacity between 1 GB to 8 GB.
