Statement of Volatility – Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme (7404) CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme (7404) 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 Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme (7404) system board. Table 1. List of Non-Volatile Components on System Board

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to data if power is removed?
All volatile components lose data immediately. NV components retain data.
How do I prevent loss of data on volatile memory?
Ensure the system remains powered on to retain volatile data.
What is the function of the RTC CMOS memory?
It stores system configuration and time-of-day information.
What is the maximum system memory size?
The system memory size depends on the installed SoDIMM modules.
