We have some Dell PowerEdge R740 that we need to set up a way to monitor and alert on the temperatures.
Where do we start on this?

Do the servers have the Dell OMSA tool installed on them? Its a requirement for most hardware health sensors on physical servers.

Got some choices for datasource, just use the first one that works well
NPM to the host - Possible sometimes not others
NPM to the idrac/ilo/whatever - Usually works
VMAN Hardware sensors through parent vcenter/hyperv/if standalone - Pretty normal
VMAN Alarms reading parent vcenter - Can be annoying
VMAN Status reading ifAlarmsPresent - Tends to work for telling when the DC's hot, but otherwise too indirect. Useful thing though.
Event forwarding to NPM/LA/LEM whatever - Looks for bad events instead of a constant. Doesnt draw on a chart well
SAM Integration to something like Dell OME - I dont recommend but did do it
