The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written +through the I2C interface. The outputs drive "4-wire" fans directly, +or can be used to modulate the fan's power terminals using an external +pass transistor. + +Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (+/-1%) +monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure. +Six pins are dedicated tachometer inputs. Any of the six PWM outputs can +also be configured to serve as tachometer inputs. + + +Sysfs entries +------------- + +fan[1-12]_input RO fan tachometer speed in RPM +fan[1-12]_fault RO fan experienced fault +fan[1-6]_target RW desired fan speed in RPM +pwm[1-6]_enable RW regulator mode, 0=disabled, 1=manual mode, 2=rpm mode +pwm[1-6] RW fan target duty cycle (0-255) |
