STEP 2: CONFIGURING THE MUX
After the system hardware configuration is determined, the fans
can be assigned to particular temperature channels. Not only
can fans be assigned to individual channels, but the behavior of
the fans is also configurable. For example, fans can run using
automatic fan control, can run manually (using software
control), or can run at the fastest speed calculated by multiple
temperature channels. The mux is the bridge between
temperature measurement channels and the three PWM
outputs.
Bits <7:5> (BHVR) of Registers 0x5C, 0x5D, and 0x5E (PWM
configuration registers) control the behavior of the fans
connected to the PWM1, PWM2, and PWM3 outputs. The
values selected for these bits determine how the mux connects a
temperature measurement channel to a PWM output.

The fastest speed calculated option pertains to controlling one
PWM output based on multiple temperature channels. The
thermal characteristics of the three temperature zones can be
set to drive a single fan. An example would be the fan turning
on when the Remote 1 temperature exceeds 60°C or when the
local temperature exceeds 45°C.

010 = Remote 2 temperature controls PWMx
101 = fastest speed calculated by local and Remote 2
temperature controls PWMx
110 = fastest speed calculated by all three temperature
channels controls PWMx
011 = PWMx runs full speed
100 = PWMx disabled (default)
111 = manual mode. PWMx is run using software control.
In this mode, PWM duty cycle registers (Registers 0x30 to
0x32) are writable and control the PWM outputs.
