In my old notes I have written these two comments:

0x30a3 disable the Fn- key combinations (except the volume functions) key and disable BIOS auto fan control (no args)
0x31a3 enable the Fn- key combinations (except the volume functions) key and enable BIOS auto fan control (no args)

So seems that these two commands have some side effect on some
machines.

For 0x34a3/0x35a3 I have only these comments:

0x34a3 disable BIOS auto fan control (no args)
0x35a3 enable BIOS auto fan control (no args)
