Shane,

it's a shell script, so you can open it in a text editor and see what
commands it does.  Specifically, the note at the top outlines exactly
what it does:

# The purpose of this script is to download and install the appropriate 
# repository RPM. This RPM will set up the Dell yum repositories on your

# system. This script will also install the Dell GPG keys used to sign 
# Dell RPMS.
