    You need a PERC Hxxx* and not the software base S1xx controller in that server. If you have shared storage around(NAS, SAN) you can use a USB, SD medium as installation drive for the ESXi OS.

    * If you have a real PERC dont forget to create a Virtual Disks (RAID) first and than start the installation!
