Hi Artis ,

Could you update the System BIOS/FIRWARE and SATA RAID controller firmware. it can be resolved your issue. but problem still persisted,if you download SATA EVENT NOTIFICATION utility then traced exat problem.

The Server BIOS/FIRMWARE download ulr path is:http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/20_6075.html

All the Best
If you want further clarification ple. Replay me.
Thanks and Regards

Hi!

Thanks for answer.
BIOS and firmware are already upgraded, in storage manager and event viewer does not show any clue about possible problem source. I tried to move disk from slot 1 to other slots, in other drive activity LEDs are working. Strange thing is that with embedded controllers drive LEDs are working fine in any slot. I think where are problems with firmware in controller/backplane with only one drive configuration in slot 1.

Later I should receive remaining ordered drives, and try that happens when in cage are installed more than one drive.

Backplane was defective, replaced and LED are working.
