Yes, you have downloaded the right drivers from the Dell website. And the SM BUS Controllers are a part of Chipset Drivers. So once you installed them, they were no more present in the Device Manager with the yellow exclamation mark.
In short, you did the right thing! Now, to answer your questions:
1.What is the best place to download it from? Several sites have multiple versions, very confusing.
Answer: The best place to download the drivers are from Dell Support Website itself. You will find all your computer's drivers there. All you need to do is enter your service tag number and then download all the drivers for your computer. Here is the link : http://dell.to/18NmI2D
2.After I download it what steps do I take to install it?
Answer: Just double click the downloaded file and it will self extract itself and begin the installation. Just follow the on-screen instructions.

3.Do I have do the whole Dell drivers install disk in the right order procedure again, including this in it? In other words the whole reinstall?
Answer: No you do not need to re-install all the drivers again. If everything is fine in the device manager now then every driver is in its place and working fine with the computer. Nothing to be concerned about.
Apologies for the wrong sentence formation. I meant that once you install the Chipset Drivers, the SM BUS Controllers should also get installed automatically.
But, now since you've mentioned that you do have a yellow exclamation mark in the Device Manager by BUS Controller even after installing the drivers, then it could be that you might not have installed all the chipset drivers available. Please install all the chipset drivers available for your computer from the support website.
Once you have downloaded and installed all the chipset drivers, check the Device Manager once for any exclamation mark on the SM BUS Controller. Also have you plugged in any external peripherals to the computer like a flash drive or a hard drive?

I don't quite understand you said:
"So once you installed them, they were no more present in the Device Manager with the yellow exclamation mark."
But I do have a yellow exclamation in the device manager by Bus Controller after installation. Is this ok?
