High and low thermal parameters are programmed into the ASIC by BIOS during POST. If the
high thermal parameter is reached then the fan(s) will be turned on full speed and the Therm-
signal will be asserted. The asserted Therm- signal can, with the proper software setup, be used by
the 82801 ICH2 to initiate an AOL message for transmission over a network (refer to Network
Interface Controller subsection in Chapter 5).
NOTE: These systems do not support thermister-based fans used on earlier products.
 
NOTES: 
  [1] Will be +12 VDC if fan is connected.
