Greetings DivysAna!

I assume you're talking about the ‘Pci Simple Communications Controller’ showing up in device manager. If this is the case, the below driver should install the device.

http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=P4XRH&fileId=3012099300&osCode=WW1&productCode=optiplex-390&languageCode=EN&categoryId=CS

Note: The Pci Simple Communications Controller is basically the hardware for Intel's AMT product.

Please reply back with any further questions on this.
