19*4882a593Smuzhiyun
20*4882a593SmuzhiyunFrom the datasheet:
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun"The EMC6W201 is an environmental monitoring device with automatic fan
23*4882a593Smuzhiyuncontrol capability and enhanced system acoustics for noise suppression.
24*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis ACPI compliant device provides hardware monitoring for up to six
25*4882a593Smuzhiyunvoltages (including its own VCC) and five external thermal sensors,
26*4882a593Smuzhiyunmeasures the speed of up to five fans, and controls the speed of
27*4882a593Smuzhiyunmultiple DC fans using three Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) outputs. Note
28*4882a593Smuzhiyunthat it is possible to control more than three fans by connecting two
29*4882a593Smuzhiyunfans to one PWM output. The EMC6W201 will be available in a 36-pin
30*4882a593SmuzhiyunQFN package."
31*4882a593Smuzhiyun
32*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe device is functionally close to the EMC6D100 series, but is
33*4882a593Smuzhiyunregister-incompatible.
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun
35*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe driver currently only supports the monitoring of the voltages,
36*4882a593Smuzhiyuntemperatures and fan speeds. Limits can be changed. Alarms are not
37*4882a593Smuzhiyunsupported, and neither is fan speed control.

42*4882a593Smuzhiyun
43*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe EMC6W201 is a rare device, only found on a few systems, made in
44*4882a593Smuzhiyun2005 and 2006. Known systems with this device:
45*4882a593Smuzhiyun
46*4882a593Smuzhiyun* Dell Precision 670 workstation
47*4882a593Smuzhiyun* Gigabyte 2CEWH mainboard
