62Q&A
63---
64
65Q: How do I safely simulate freefall? I have an HP "portable
66workstation" which has about 3.5kg and a plastic case, so letting it
67fall to the ground is out of question...
68
69A: The sensor is pretty sensitive, so your hands can do it. Lift it
70into free space, follow the fall with your hands for like 10
71centimeters. That should be enough to trigger the detection.

14Description
15-----------
16
17The LTC4215 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
18from a live backplane.

20
21Usage Notes
22-----------
23
24This driver does not probe for LTC4215 devices, due to the fact that some
25of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
26the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
27
28Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4215 at address 0x44
29on I2C bus #0:
30$ modprobe ltc4215 force=0,0x44

36The LTC4215 has built-in limits for overvoltage, undervoltage, and
37undercurrent warnings. This makes it very likely that the reference
38circuit will be used.
