This is an update of the Chipset Device Software, which is responsible for configuring the optimal operation of the drivers for many of the devices in the chipset (these are drivers that are actually installed by Windows during its installation). I would think that this particular package would have already been installed on your machine, but perhaps not.
I found only one report of problems cause by this package: Intel® Chipset Device Software Update Through Microsoft Windows* Update Overwrites Existing Device Drivers Causing Loss of Functionality. Now, this report refers to the SMBus driver being overwritten by a dummy driver entry. This is not something that I believe will cause you any problems. Only Intel software, written for Intel's Desktop Board products, actually installed this particular device driver. Since you have a Dell PC, there is almost zero chance of this driver having been installed.
Bottom line, if it were me, I would go ahead and install this optional package. It should be benign.
Hope this helps,
...S
