Function description:
 Use ADT7462 chip to monitor system voltage, temperature and fans, Circuit structure is
shown in the figure above.
 The communication between CPU and ADT7462 is realized by the SMBUS supported by
FPGA.
 Two pieces of ADT7462 on the digital board are used for main unit box fan, back-end
power monitor and main unit box temperature monitoring.
 1 piece of ADT7462 on the front-end power board is used for front-end power monitor and
temperature monitoring.
