I have a server with ESXi 6.5 installed and an Intel XL710 Adapter with the 1 meter breakout cable to give me four 10Gb connections. My ESXI server only sees the two 40Gb ports and not the 10Gb connections. How can I fix this? I need to use the 10Gb connections individually. Thanks.

Sorry it took so long. I didn't purchase this hardware and had to find out who did. The card is an XL710-QDA2.
The cable is from a company called 10Gtek, part number is CAB-QSFP/4SFP-P1M-30. It says right on it that it is for an Arista and it is connected to an Arista switch. The label also says QSFP+ to 4SFP+ Cable 1m.
Hopefully that sufficient info. Thanks for your assistance.
