Statement of Volatility – Dell 7740 CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell 7740 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 7740’s system board. Table 1.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will user data be lost if I unplug the power cord?
Yes, primary power loss destroys all user data on the memory (DDR4).
Which components retain their data after external power is removed?
Non-volatile components like BIOS, SPD chips, and the RTC battery will continue to retain data.
How much system RAM can the Dell 7740 support?
The system supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory using four SODIMM slots.
Which power state ensures no system context is preserved?
S5, the 'soft' off state, requires a complete boot as no data remains in any component on the system board.
