I'd suggest to either install ESXi on an SD card (if the R410 even offers this) or on a pair of internal drives connected to a PERC adapter of some sort (e.g. a PERC H200). Then you don't have to boot off of the unsupported controller, but can just use it for external storage.
Hi, the R410 has an option for an internal bootable USB key, if you take off the cover you will notice the 2 USB ports just to the right of the control panel ribbon cable. I would install ESXi on to a USB stick and then work on from there.
