ESXI 5.0 does not support Dell PowerEdge R320?

[wferreira]

I've bought vCenter Server 5 Essentials; and I need it installed on a server Dell PowerEdge R320; but during the installation proccess I get the error "No ethernet cards found, press enter to reboot", and can't install it!! same thing with ESXi 5.0 and ESXi 5.0 U1.

According to the compatibility list this server is compatible.

What can I do?

Regards.

You need to download Dell's ESXi version which has the required drivers for the R320 included, you can find it on their support site.
