CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the
problem.
The Dell LATITUDE 12 RUGGED EXTREME 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 12 RUGGED EXTREME system board.
