Thanks for the BIOS tip, I had a good look, but couldn't find anything related, and my BIOS is already at what I believe to be the latest revision (P24). Perhaps this was only available on later versions of the hardware?
After a morning's futile Googling, I decided to start by trying the simplest solution, so I unpacked the .deb I had used on my Debian system (hpasm-7.8.0-100.etch26.i386.deb) into a local folder and copied the contents across. Then simply running
Code:
/opt/compaq/hpasmd/bin/hpasmd
immediately calmed the noise down. By running
Code:
/etc/init.d/hpasm configure
and confirming that I really did want to set things up, despite the lack of an SMNP stack that the HP software understood, I now have access to the command line tool to interrogate the system health.
Code:
root@ipcop:~ # /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli
HP management CLI for Linux (v1.0)

I hope that's of help to someone else out there.
