| 27 | Description | |
| 28 | ----------- | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips | |
| 31 | contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | The 47M15x and 47M192 chips contain a full 'hardware monitoring block' | |
| 34 | in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The hardware monitoring | |
| 35 | block is not supported by the driver. | |

37 | No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device |
| 38 | ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible. | |

40 | Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is |
| 41 | triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan | |
| 42 | readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give | |
| 43 | the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be | |
| 44 | represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest | |
| 45 | representable value is around 2600 RPM. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | PWM values are from 0 to 255. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register | |
| 50 | is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may | |
| 51 | already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all | |
| 52 | hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less | |
| 53 | than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily | |
| 54 | miss once-only alarms. | |
