are slight differences between the Small Form Factor (Figure 4-11) and the desktop and
eration is the same.
An ASIC monitors a thermal diode internal to the processor and provides a Fan CMD signal that
e Speed Control logic uses to vary the speed of the fan(s) through the negative terminal of the
n(s). The turning off of the fan(s) as the result from the g placed
ondition is initiated by the control ASIC asserting the Fan Off- signal, which results in the
n/Off Control logic shutting off the +12 volts to the fan(s).
he main differences between the system types are as follow
In the Small Form system the processor fan, controlled by a separate speed control

Desktop onfigurable Minitower systems use an integrated heat sink/fan assembly, with all
fans speed-controlled by the ASIC through the power supply so that a thermal condition of
the processor or power supply will affect all fans simultaneously.

4. Sleep state – Fan(s) turned off. Hot processor or power supply will result in starting fan(s).
