Question about it87 on an ECS K7S5A

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



not familiar with the K7S5A-HOWTO, it's not from us.
Your best bet is to try and get the actual sensor connections,
and external resistor values, from the board manufacturer.
Much better than guessing.

Also, I skimmed through the driver and didn't see any reason
the -12V alarm should be stuck. Sorry.

good luck
