To locate where your ESXi is installed, you can check the boot device or the storage device where ESXi is installed. You can also log in to the ESXi host using a console or SSH and run the "vmware -v" command to check the version and build number of ESXi, which will include the location information. Additionally, you can check the ESXi host configuration file located at /etc/vmware/esx.conf for the "vmkernel" configuration section, which includes the path to the boot device where ESXi is installed.
