Appendix G: Statement of Volatility
This Appendix describes the volatile and non-volatile components on the Intel
®
Server Board
S2600CW Product Family. It is not the intention of this document to include any components
not directly on the listed Intel server boards, such as the chassis components, processors,
memory, hard drives, or add-in cards.
Server Board Components
Intel
®
servers contain several components that can be used to store data. A list of components
for the Intel
®
Server Board S2600CW is included in the table below. The sections below the
table provide additional information about the fields in this table.

Component Type
Three types of components are on an Intel
®
server board. These types are:
 Non-volatile: Non-volatile memory is persistent, and is not cleared when power is
removed from the system. Non-Volatile memory must be erased to clear data. The
exact method of clearing these areas varies by the specific component. Some areas are
required for normal operation of the server, and clearing these areas may render the
server board inoperable
 Volatile: Volatile memory is cleared automatically when power is removed from the
system.
 Battery powered RAM: Battery powered RAM is similar to volatile memory, but is
powered by a battery on the server board. Data in Battery powered Ram is persistent
until the battery is removed from the server board.
Size
The size of each component includes sizes in bits, Kbits, bytes, kilobytes (KB) or megabytes
(MB).
