Perhaps grep 'lspci' for something Dell-specific, such as:

00:08.0 Class ff00: Dell Computer Corporation Embedded Systems Management 
Device 4

00:08.1 Class ff00: Dell Computer Corporation PowerEdge Expandable RAID 
Controller 3/Di

00:08.2 Class ff00: Dell Computer Corporation: Unknown device 0009
