It won't touch the configuration +registers then. If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want +different settings, you can set the following parameters: + +voltage_12V: 5=5V fan, 12=12V fan, 0=don't change +prescaler: Possible values are 1,2,4,8,16, or 0 for don't change +clock: The clock frequency in Hz of the chip the driver should assume [254000] + +Please have a look at the MAX6650/6651 data sheet and make sure that you fully +understand the meaning of these parameters before you attempt to change them. |
