55 | Module Parameters | ||
56 | ----------------- | ||
57 | |||
58 | * read_only: int | ||
59 | Don't set any values, read only mode | ||
60 | |||
61 | |||
62 | Description | ||
63 | ----------- | ||
64 | |||
65 | The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is | ||
66 | the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The | ||
67 | MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A. | ||
68 | Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as | ||
69 | ADM1021-clones. | ||
70 | |||
71 | The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision | ||
72 | code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful | ||
73 | otherwise. | ||
74 | |||
75 | ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal, | ||
76 | and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and | ||
77 | is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm | ||
78 | indicates whether the remote sensor is connected. | ||
79 | |||
80 | Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the | ||
81 | corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays | ||
82 | out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements | ||
83 | are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree. | ||
84 | |||
85 | If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register | ||
86 | is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already | ||
87 | have disappeared! | ||
88 | |||
89 | This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often | ||
90 | will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make | ||
91 | ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason | ||
92 | for that. | ||
93 | |||
94 | Xeon support | ||
95 | ------------ | ||
96 | |||
97 | Some Xeon processors have real max1617, adm1021, or compatible chips | ||
98 | within them, with two temperature sensors. | ||
99 | |||
100 | Other Xeons have chips with only one sensor. | ||
101 | |||
102 | If you have a Xeon, and the adm1021 module loads, and both temperatures | ||
103 | appear valid, then things are good. | ||
104 | |||
105 | If the adm1021 module doesn't load, you should try this: | ||
106 | modprobe adm1021 force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS | ||
107 | ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e. | ||
108 | |||
109 | If you have dual Xeons you may have appear to have two separate | ||
110 | adm1021-compatible chips, or two single-temperature sensors, at distinct | ||
111 | addresses. | ||
