Statement of Volatility – Dell Latitude 7300

CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the
problem.

The Dell Latitude 7300 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
Latitude 7300 system board.

CAUTION: All other components on the system board lose data if power is removed from the system. Primary power loss
(unplugging the power cord and removing the battery) destroys all user data on the memory (DDR4, 2400 MHz). Secondary power
loss (removing the on-board coin-cell battery) destroys system data on the system configuration and time-of-day information.
In addition, to clarify memory volatility and data retention in situations where the system is put in different ACPI
power states the following is provided (those ACPI power states are S0, CMS, S4 and S5):

S0 state is the working state where the dynamic RAM is maintained and is read/write by the processor.
CMS (Modern standby-connected) is a standby mode state that is different from S3 mode. In this state, the
dynamic RAM is maintained. Dell systems will be able to go to CMS if the OS and the peripherals used in the
system supports CMS state. Win 10 support CMS state. When in the lowest power state, systems may look
very similar to systems in the S3 state—processors are powered off, memory is in self-refresh.

S4 is called “suspend to disk” state or “hibernate” mode. There is no power. In this state, the dynamic RAM is
not maintained. If the system has been commanded to enter S4, the OS will write the system context to a
non-volatile storage file and leave appropriate context markers. When the system is coming back to the
working state, a restore file from the non-volatile storage can occur. The restore file has to be valid. Dell
systems will be able to go to S4 if the OS and the peripherals support S4 state. Win 10 support S4 state.

S5 is the “soft” off state. There is no power. The OS does not save any context to wake up the system. No
data will remain in any component on the system board, i.e. cache or memory. The system will require a
complete boot when awakened. Since S5 is the shut off state, coming out of S5 requires power on which
clears all registers.

The following table shows all the states supported by Dell Latitude™ 7300:
