Abstract
An apparatus can include a fan including a control pin. The fan may receive a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal at the control pin. The fan may further control a speed of the fan based on a duty cycle of the PWM signal when the PWM signal is in a first range and, responsive to the duty cycle of the PWM signal being in a second range, transmit information corresponding to the fan to an external controller.
