Depending on your hardware you will have support here:
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware

I create a local mirror via rsync and use for all the Dell servers.

I'm usually fine with the hardware repo above unless I need something
really new (some versions that's not yet released in the firmware repo
as rpms).
