Statement of Volatility – Dell Ultra Sharp U2711 CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem. The Dell Ultra Sharp U2711 monitor 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 system board. List below contains volatile and non-volatile memory ICs used in Dell Ultra Sharp U2711 monitor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I write data to the monitor's firmware flash memory?
No, user programs cannot write to it. Loading requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program via USB upgrade tool.
Does the monitor save settings when turned off?
Yes, settings are stored in the System EEPROM and remain after power is removed.
Why is the video buffer volatile?
The DDR SDRAM buffers video data received by the decoder; data is lost immediately if power is removed.
How is VGA EDID stored and protected?
It is stored in a non-volatile EEPROM and is protected by both hardware and software write-protection.
How do I write data to the DVI-1 EDID memory?
You must use a vendor-provided tool and a specific DVI cable.
Does the monitor have volatile memory?
Yes, it contains DDR and DDR2 SDRAM which lose data immediately when power is removed.
