The problem is the Dell sensor setup is proprietary.

I have Dell 1600sc 's and 2850 's.  I have never been able to get lm_sensors 
to work on them.  Many hours spent with kernel rebuilds, etc.  I finally just 
settled on installing the Dell system management tool "omreport".  Works 
really good and easy to install.  Just follow the docs on the CD.

Note.  I don't install the secure http server.  I just install the chassis 
reporting tools.  You can monitor all the temps, fans, etc from the command 
line.  There is a lot more info available using their omreport tool.

If you really need the snmp piece you will have to setup a windows management 
box.

omreport -? to see a list of options.

Some examples:
