Never mind, figured it out.  OpenManage 5.5 does not support the
PowerEdge SC1430.  This is in fact a common statement for nearly all
SC-class servers produced in the last few years.  From the readme in
its package:

Release Version: 5.5.0
Release Date:September 2008


Supported Dell PowerEdge Systems

PowerEdge 10th generation system family:
M600, M605, PET300, PER300, M805, M905, T110, and DL5000

PowerEdge x9xx system family: 1950, 1955, 2900, 2950

PowerEdge x8xx system family: 800, 830, 840, 850, 860, 1800,
1850, 1855MC, 2800, 2850, 6800, and 6850

PowerEdge x7xx system family: 700, 750, 1750

PowerEdge x6xx system family: 600SC, 650, 1600SC, 1650,

NOTE: The first x in the system family name can represent
      a blank or a number. For example, x8xx represents the
      PowerEdge 800, 1800, 2850, etc.
