i installed esxi 5.1 on an r620 about an hour ago. i’m positive i knew this prior to the install, but must have forgot at some point. you need to download a dell customized iso of the esxi install from support.dell.com. under the server’s drivers and downloads choose “enterprise solutions”.

at first i used a vmware iso and during the esxi installation received a message of “no network adapters”. the installer just quits at that point.

with the dell customized iso, the dual sd cards showed up fine as an installation destination. after the install finished all i had to do was change the bios boot order for hard disks (putting the sd cards above other storage).
