Actually they do provide configuration information. They have their own
tool names SuperDoctor, which can be downloaded from:
  ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/utility/SuperDoctor_II/Linux/Release/

If you look at file AllSuperD.ini, you'll find per-board entries
describing the input mapping. It is very helpful when writing a custom
libsensors configuration file for the board in question. It takes some
knowledge of the monitoring chip or its driver though, as the ini file
references register addresses ("Offset" in the file.)

A gave a quick look and at least the voltage input mapping (and
presumably the voltage scaling factors as well) is similar to the
X9SRA so you can reuse this part of the X9SRA configuration file.

Hope that helps,
