They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8 temperatures. 22 23The SMSC SCH5627 hardware monitoring part also contains an integrated 24watchdog. In order for this watchdog to function some motherboard specific 25initialization most be done by the BIOS, so if the watchdog is not enabled 26by the BIOS the sch5627 driver will not register a watchdog device. 27 28The hardware monitoring part of the SMSC SCH5627 is accessed by talking 29through an embedded microcontroller. An application note describing the 30protocol for communicating with the microcontroller is available upon 31request. Please mail me if you want a copy. 32
