That is very old hardware and does not support any version or ESXi that I can reference. It's probably not going to work out for you.

Hi!

DL120G6 has Intel X3400 series CPU.

you will be lucky if you can install ESXi 5.1\5.5 on it.

b110i is onboard controller and it's not supported by ESXi. You need anything else - HP P410 for example.

two questions

1. did you try doing the raid 0 with the HDD?

2. did you use a custom iso? I left you the link to download
