IPMI on P/E 350?

[Seshadri_N at Dell.com]

PE350 was shipped in 2001 without any hardware monitoring capabilities.
Temperature & Voltage monitoring was possible using OMSA.  I guess
PowerEdge 350 was shipped with the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
version 6.2 (DSA 6.2).  Later versions of OMSA stopped supporting PE350.

NOTE:  PE350 did not have any IPMI capabilities.

You can try using LibSMBIOS and see if its of any help:

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.
