Information for Advanced Users
At the first call of the function Open_Int15dl(), the Int15dl driver tries to detect the type of chipset. To disable this
procedure the user must define the following parameters in the "Int15dl.inf" file before installing the driver:
For PIIX4 chipset:
HKR, "Parameters", "chipID", 0x00010001, 0x4
HKR, "Parameters", "pmBase", 0x00010001, 0x1000
HKR, "Parameters", "smbBase", 0x00010001, 0x1040
HKR, "Parameters", "tsaddr", 0x00010001, 0x9E - LM75 sensor address
For ICH4 chipset:
HKR, "Parameters", "chipID", 0x00010001, 0x5
HKR, "Parameters", "pmBase", 0x00010001, 0x1000
HKR, "Parameters", "smbBase", 0x00010001, 0x1880
HKR, "Parameters", "tsaddr", 0x00010001, 0x9C - ADM1023 sensor address
