temperature sensor on a lh plus?

[Diego Calleja García]

I've a netserver lh plus.

I'm using linux, and i want to use the temperature sensor
of my motherboard. The question is that i need to know *what* chip it's. Technical help says me that "those especifications are'n available". This information is basic to run an NOS, as the ide chipset and so on.....


Anybody knows what chip iis the temperature snesor? anybody knows *how* to read the values of
the sensor (don't say me that hp top tools, i've been said that lh plus isn't supported)

I'd like to hera to lh pro users too, as they may have the same chip.

I have same troubles. I cannot find any docs from HP. Properly software lm_sensor ( http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/ ) is included in most of Linux distributions. I have some experience with this package before, but I cannot setup it by oneself for my lp1000r.

Yes, i know about lm-sensors. A note: by default, there's no official support on the "vanilla" kernels. lm-sensors is going to be included for 2.5 soon.

I've tested lm-sensors, too, but i couldn't find any sensor.


As HP _doesn't want_ to say us what chip is (i've asked them, but "those especifications aren't available") we'll have to
guess it (i think that hp should say what chip is, as they say us what scsi chip or ide controller or whatever we have)

Pelase try to read the docs from hp. In the docs for my server, there's a picture. I can read "temperature sensor" in the picture. So, if you can, It'd be useful
you to look at your server at the same point where the picture says, and wrote down the text on the chip (so we'll be able to search the provider and so what chip we have)

I've done this, and I'm suspecting of tree chips.
I think that the most probable is the one wich says:

"SG-615P C"
or "P69SK - 74F373" (from national semiconductors, whicha have done some temperatures sensors).

Of course, in your system It could be another chip...


I must say that HP *must* provide this information, as is basical to the system healt.

And they could have support for it in a windoze application... (in the lh plus case they don't have....and they have for another systems). How can HP not to have software for their systems
