Trond,

interesting points.  I had the same issue with the same server using an 
earlier version of OpenManage (probes missing).  Open manage reports no 
issues with missing probes, it simply ignores them it seems.  I don't 
believe there is a bios upgrade available but I'll double check on that.

still getting the plugin timeout however...
