The +hardware monitoring block is not supported by this driver, use the +smsc47m192 driver for that. + +No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device +ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible. + +Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is +triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan +readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give +the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be +represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest +representable value is around 2600 RPM. + +PWM values are from 0 to 255. + +If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register +is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may +already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all +hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less +than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily +miss once-only alarms. + +------------------------------------------------------------------ + +The lm_sensors project gratefully acknowledges the support of +Intel in the development of this driver. |
