4.7.4.2Cooling for d325 Models
The fan control logic on the d325 model differs from the D315 system in that fans are controlled by the system board logic. The fans are driven by a constant positive 12 volts on one side and a negative voltage that is variable through the Fan Cntrl logic. A Hardware Monitor ASIC monitors the temperature of the processor and changes the duty cycle of the Fan PWM to increase or decrease fan speed based on the processor temperature. The Fan Clamp signal is initiated by the BIOS and produced by the GPIO at boot time to ensure that the fans start at boot time.
NOTE: A protection mechanism is provided where the processor threshold temperature programmed into the Hardware Monitor ASIC is temporarily set by the BIOS to a lower than normal level during the initial start up to protect against the possibility of an incorrectly installed heat sink. If during the boot period the processor’s temperature reaches 100° C the hardware Monitor will assert the Therm signal causing the I/O Controller to
