Monitoring Older PowerEdge's

We have a server farm consisting of about 200 Dell servers. 25% of them date back to 6350's, 4350's, etc. Not all of them have openmanage installed but most do. The problems I am finding however are that the servers that do have openmange installed are versions newer then what is actually listed under the available version to download when selecting the Systems Management section for the respective server under downloads and drivers. I do not have access to the original installation source for these versions and most I try to download claim it is older then the version installed. I am simply trying to find a version that is the newest most compatible across these older servers.

Secondly, I am running the newest version of IT Manager and a number of these older servers are showing with Question Marks. When viewing the details, it only lists Windows Management Instrumentation with a green check (for those windows 2003 servers). So I take it these older PowerEdge servers can not be properly monitored using the newest Management Station?
 
Anybody able to provide some insight here or confirmation on what I posted above?

Thanks
