It is a value in volts. When it is unconnected, you will often find the
value 3.50 V here.
In addition to the alarms described above, there are a couple of additional
ones. There is a BTI alarm, which gets triggered when an external chip has
crossed its limits. Usually, this is connected to all LM75 chips; if at
least one crosses its limits, this bit gets set. The CHAS alarm triggers
if your computer case is open. The FIFO alarms should never trigger; it
indicates an internal error. The SMI_IN alarm indicates some other chip
has triggered an SMI interrupt. As we do not use SMI interrupts at all,
this condition usually indicates there is a problem with some other
device.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
