This register becomes read-only when the Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Lock bit is set.  Any further attempts to write to 
this register shall have no effect.  
Bits [7:5] Zone/Mode 
Bits [7:5] of the Fan Configuration registers associate each fan with a temperature sensor.  When in Auto Fan Mode the fan 
will be assigned to a zone, and its PWM duty cycle will be adjusted according to the temperature of that zone.  If “Hottest” 
option is selected (110), the fan will be controlled by the the hottest of zones 1, 2 or 3.  To determine the “hottest zone”, the 
PWM level for each zone is calculated then the zone with the higher PWM value (not temperature) is selected.  When in 
manual control mode, the Current PWM duty register (30-32h) become Read/Write.  It is then possible to control the PWM 
outputs with software by writing to these registers.  When the fan is disabled (100) the corresponding PWM output should be 
driven low (or high, if inverted).

Bit [4] PWM Invert 
Bit [4] inverts the PWM output.  If set to 0, 100% duty cycle will yield an output that is always high.  If set to 1, 100% duty 
cycle will yield an output that is always low. 
Bit [3] Reserved 
Bit [2:0] Spin Up 
Bits [2:0] specify the ‘spin up’ time for the fan.  When a fan is being started from a stationary state, the PWM output is held at 
100% duty cycle for the time specified in the table below before scaling to a lower speed.
