Sm bus controller dell. I have tried with the Drivers and Utilities disc i got with the computer but with no luck. Now keep getting a message asking me. I have a disk with most drivers but not all would install. I need drivers for the following: PCI serial port SM Bus Controller Not sure if I need an ethernet controller because I can connect to the internet. Went to Dell website, but they wouldnt accept my Service tag which I copied from the side of my computer. In Device Manager I've got the yellow exclamation point next to 'SM Bus Controller'. 'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.' Yes, you have downloaded the right drivers from the Dell website. And the SM BUS Controllers are a part of Chipset Drivers.
I have a driver problem with SM Bus Controller with the driver not being correctly installed, but how do I find out what are the details I need to upd. SM Bus Controller Driver. Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last. Jump to page: wdrs. View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Member Posts: 35.
You can get ESX 3.5i running on this great new machine from Dell with a few adjustments.
I've ordered it with the Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33GHz + 8MB memory.
First you need to disable the onboard network and order a supported network card. I ordered a Intel Pro/1000 PT network card which fits in the PCIe slot.
Next you'll need ESX3.5i to recognize the onboard ICH10R (disk) controller. This may be a bit hard if you don't know linux, but there is a great tutorial on: http://vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php
To help you with this, all you have to do is add the following PCI id's:
In simple.map
after 8086:3200 and before 8086:7010 add
8086:3a02 0000:0000 storage ahci
In pci.ids
after 3582 and before 5200 add
3a02 ICH10(R)
NOTE: Don't use the ICH10_oem.tgz file that is provided on that page, it won't work for your Dell.
In your bios don't forget to disable all things you don't need like onboard network/soundcard. And make sure you use AHCI for your harddisk.
Final tip: use the USB boot for ESX3.5i

The best part is that the Dell Optiplex 960 is very energy-friendly! Idle it runs at 36 Watt which makes this the ultimate whitebox for me.
