These registers become read only when the Lock bit is set. Any further attempts to write to these
registers shall have no effect.
If the temperature is above the Zone x Low Temp Limit, then drops below Zone x Low Temp Limit, the
following will occur:
The fan will remain on, at Fan PWM Minimum, until the temperature goes a certain amount below the
associated zones low temperature limit (see Zone x Low Temp Limit registers). That is, when the
temperature is less than the temperature limit minus the hysteresis value, the fan will turn off.
The Hysteresis registers control this amount. See below table for details.
