29.Dt SMU 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm smu
33.Nd Apple System Management Unit Driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following lines in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device smu"
40.Ed
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides support for the System Management Unit (SMU) found in many
45Apple G5 systems.
46This includes most Power Macintosh G5 and all iMac G5 systems.
47.Pp
48The Apple SMU controller provides software power management and thermal
49control functionality, and is responsible for managing system cooling
50devices.
51.Sh HARDWARE
52Chips supported by the
53.Nm
54driver include:
55.Pp
56.Bl -bullet -compact
57.It
58Apple System Management Unit
59.El
60.Sh THERMAL MANAGEMENT
61The
62.Nm
63driver provides basic automatic thermal management. Without a userspace
64daemon providing more advanced control, the driver will attempt to maintain
65system temperatures in a conservative range through coarse-grained control of
66system cooling devices (see below). Automatic kernel-level thermal control
67will take over if more than 3 seconds elapses between userspace cooling
68setting adjustments.
69.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
70The
71.Nm
72driver provides power management services and thermal readout through a
73sysctl interface.
74The following sysctls can be used to control the
75power management behavior and to examine current system power and
76thermal conditions.
77.Bl -tag -width indent
78.It Va dev.smu.%d.server_mode
79Restart after power failure behavior (1 causes system to reboot after power
80cut, 0 causes system to remain off).
81.It Va dev.smu.%d.target_temp
82Target system temperature, in degrees Celsius. The
83.Nm
84driver will attempt to adjust fans to maintain the temperature of the
85warmest component in the system at or below this level.
86.It Va dev.smu.%d.critical_temp
87System critical temperature, in degrees Celsius. If any component in
88the system exceeds this temperature, the machine will be shut down within
89500 ms.
90.It Va dev.smu.%d.fans.%s.minrpm
91Minimum allowed speed for this fan.
92.It Va dev.smu.%d.fans.%s.maxrpm
93Maximum allowed speed for this fan.
94.It Va dev.smu.%d.fans.%s.rpm
95Current speed for this fan. The fan speed can be adjusted by changing this
96sysctl. If more than 3 seconds elapses between fan speed adjustments, the
97kernel will resume automatic control of the fan.
98.It Va dev.smu.%d.sensors.%s
99Current reading from this sensor. Four sensor types are supported. Temperature
100sensors are in units of degrees Celsius, current sensors in milliamps, voltage
101sensors in millivolts, and power sensors in milliwatts.
102.El
103.Sh LED INTERFACE
104The
105.Nm
106driver provides an
107.Xr led 4
108annunciator interface at
109.Pa /dev/led/sleepled .
