The BIOS firmware supports both legacy BIOS and Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI); the default setting is Legacy. ESXi supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI BIOS, and you have the option of setting BIOS to either legacy mode or UEFI mode before you perform the OS installation.
Note - If you are performing a VMware ESXi 5.0 installation over a network, UEFI BIOS is not supported. You will need to use Legacy BIOS mode, which is the default.
