Statement of Volatility – Dell PowerEdge R420
Dell PowerEdge R420 contains both volatile and non-volatile (NV) components. Volatile components lose their
data immediately upon removal of power from the component. Non-volatile components continue to retain their
data even after the power has been removed from the component. Components chosen as user-definable
configuration options (those not soldered to the motherboard) are not included in the Statement of Volatility.
Configuration option information (pertinent to options such as microprocessors, remote access controllers, and
storage controllers) is available by component separately. The following NV components are present in the
PowerEdge R420 server.

How is data input to this memory?

How is this memory write protected?

PCH Internal CMOS RAM

BIOS

N/A – BIOS only control

BIOS SPI Flash

SPI interface via iDRAC

Software write protected

iDRAC SPI Flash

SPI interface via iDRAC

Embedded iDRAC subsystem firmware
actively controls sub area based write
protection as needed.

BMC EMMC

NAND Flash interface via iDRAC

Embedded FW write protected

CPU Vcore and VSA
Regulators

Once value are loaded into register
space a cmd writes to nvm.

There are passwords for different sections of
the register space

Different vendors have different
utilities and tools to load the data to
memory. It can also be loaded by
Dell Update Package from LC or OS
(Windows and Linux)

Protected by the embedded microcontroller.
Special keys are used by special vendor
provided utilities to unlock the ROM with
various CRC checks during load.
