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 1, the lowest +representable value is 480 RPM. + +This driver supports RPM based control, to use this a fan target +should be written to fan1_target and pwm1_enable should be set to 3. + +The 2103-2 and 2103-4 variants have a third temperature sensor, which can +be connected to two anti-parallel diodes. These values can be read +as temp3 and temp4. If only one diode is attached to this channel, temp4 +will show as "fault". The module parameter "apd=0" can be used to suppress +this 4th channel when anti-parallel diodes are not fitted. |
