Below this temperature fan stops. 67temp1_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional 68 range. Below this temperature 69 pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from 70 0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps of 71 4 degree C. Read it out after writing to get 72 the actual value. 73temp1_auto_point3_temp rw Above this temperature fan runs at maximum 74 speed. It can go from temp1_auto_point2_temp. 75 It can only have certain discrete values 76 which depend on temp1_auto_point2_temp and 77 pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after 78 writing to get the actual value. 79 80temp2_auto_point1_temp rw Must be between 0 degree C and 63 degree C and 81 it defines the passive cooling temperature. 82 Below this temperature the fan stops in 83 the closed loop mode. 84temp2_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional 85 range. Below this temperature 86 pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from 87 0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps 88 of 4 degree C. 89 90temp2_auto_point3_temp rw Above this temperature fan runs at maximum 91 speed. It can only have certain discrete 92 values which depend on temp2_auto_point2_temp 93 and pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after 94 writing to get actual value. 95======================= == =============================================== 96 97 98Module parameters 99----------------- 100 101If your board has a BIOS that initializes the amc6821 correctly, you should 102load the module with: init=0. 103 104If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want 105different settings, you can set the following parameters: 106 107- init=1, 108- pwminv: 0 default pwm output, 1 inverts pwm output.
