T20 SM Bus controller
I've got a Dell T20 I'm putting Windows 7 Pro onto, and I'm using the drivers published for Server 2008 R2, since I believe it's the same kernal. The drivers installed fine, but after doing all three chipset drivers, I still see a missing driver named SM Bus Controller. In another thread, I saw someone told to install a chipset driver, but like I said, I installed all three drivers listed under chipset on the drivers page. Any suggestions?

Dell never supported Win 7 on the PowerEdge T20.
So the only chipset drivers you could have downloaded from Dell's site would been for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2.
It sounds like none of those will work with Win 7 on the T20 hardware.
Best you may be able to do is go to the Intel download site, assuming you can get this system on line, grab Intel's free hardware scanner and see if it can offer suitable chipset drivers for this combination of hardware and software.
And if there are no suitable Win 7 chipset drivers...

There was another thread that had someone with the same problem. They linked to https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=2TDF7
