DL380 g3 have build in iLO. Can your colo hookup that ethernet? That will
allow you console access including power on/off, reset and you will
be able to see faults (fan, power supply, etc.).

I have a DL380 g3 with dual P4-3.2GHz 1MB L3 cache, the kern conf has
just "options SMP" to make it work. Here is the top part and bottom part
of dmesg from boot:

SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!

...

kern.smp.active: 1
kern.smp.disabled: 0
kern.smp.cpus: 2

This box was running 5.2.1 before so I am very sure SMP will work on it.
