  9. Description
  10. -----------
  11. From the datasheet:
  12. "The EMC6W201 is an environmental monitoring device with automatic fan
  13. control capability and enhanced system acoustics for noise suppression.
  14. This ACPI compliant device provides hardware monitoring for up to six
  15. voltages (including its own VCC) and five external thermal sensors,
  16. measures the speed of up to five fans, and controls the speed of
  17. multiple DC fans using three Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) outputs. Note
  18. that it is possible to control more than three fans by connecting two
  19. fans to one PWM output. The EMC6W201 will be available in a 36-pin
  20. QFN package."
  21. The device is functionally close to the EMC6D100 series, but is
  22. register-incompatible.
  23. The driver currently only supports the monitoring of the voltages,
  24. temperatures and fan speeds. Limits can be changed. Alarms are not
  25. supported, and neither is fan speed control.
  26. Known Systems With EMC6W201

  29. 2005 and 2006. Known systems with this device:
  30. * Dell Precision 670 workstation
  31. * Gigabyte 2CEWH mainboard
