Vmware ESXI 7

Hello everyone, I'm very new to ESXI and virtualization. I'm learning. I installed ESXI on an IBM system x 3550 m2 server and everything was fine. However, I'm attaching a picture. I have 2 hard drives on it that are not even showing up on the devices list. Am I missing something? Should I have added anything else to the BOOT.config file besides allowing legacy cpu to boot? Thank you in advance for your responses.

That's most likely caused by an unsupported disk controller.

If this is a lab system - i.e. just for trying out things - you may consider installing an older ESXi version on the hardware itself, and then install ESXi 7.0 as a virtual machine.
