PCIe RAID controllers for the C220 M3 should be installed in slot 1 if you have 1 CPU or slot 2 if you have 2 CPUs. You can check the spec sheet for a diagram of which slot is which at http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c220m3-sff-specsheet.pdf

Also, be sure to check the Interoperability Matrix to confirm what drivers you'll need to install for your ESXi installation. You can check that here: http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html
