Dell U2417HWi - Statement of Volatility
Summary
Dell Dell Statement of Volatility documenting all volatile and non-volatile memory components on the system board. Lists non-volatile components including embedded controller flash, system BIOS SPI flash for boot operation and onboard diagnostics, TPM security module storage, and DIMM SPD EEPROMs storing memory timing data. Documents volatile components including DDR system memory cleared on power off, RTC CMOS battery-backed memory cleared by coin cell removal, and video memory configurations.

Statement of Volatility – Dell U2417HWI CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell U2417HWI 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 in the Dell U2417HWI. Table 1.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the data stored on volatile components after power is removed?
Volatile components lose their data immediately after power is removed from the component.
Can I program or change settings in the System EEPROM myself?
Yes, you can change OSD settings (e.g., Brightness) by using the controls and the setting will be stored into system EEPROM.
Is user access restricted for critical flash memory types?
The VGA EDID EEPROM is hardware and software write protected; the Flash ROM MXIC MX25L40 is software write protected.
Which component stores the full OS image, and how can it be loaded?
NAND Flash (eMMC) stores the OS image. Loading this memory requires a O.S download tool and software.
