IPMI on P/E 350?

Howdy, List! 

We've got some old P/E hardware still in use here, specifically a 350. I'm trying to get some hardware monitoring set up, but this server's so old that I don't think OMSA 5.2 supports it anymore. I've got drivers for my 1650's and other servers of about the same vintage via ( http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/ ), but the 350 isn't mentioned. 

First Question: Does the P/E 350 have hardware monitoring that's poll-able from the softare?
Second Question: If yes, then how do I get it set up when IPMI and lm_sensors can't even find sensors to poll?

We're running OpenSUSE 10.3; the SLES 10 drivers work just fine for the 1650.
