HP Microserver Gen8 Nand problem

So I got this week a second hand HP Microserver Gen8 what had been used for home nas for a couple of years. Nothing on server was upgraded so I upgraded everything what I could to the latest version.

iLO Diagnostics states:

Controller firmware revision 2.10.00 NAND read failure: Media is in a WRITE-PROTECTED state 

and an exclamation mark with the message:

ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 System Programmable Logic Device version 0x06 

 

Now, i tried everything what i found about this problem, my gut tells me that it`s a faulty motherboard. Howewer one interesting thing found out was, if i downgrade iLO to version 2.54 and perform a NAND format with the server off, the whole Diagnostics page goes green, state of NAND becomes OK. Untill i boot up the server. Than it changes again back to "Failed restart/Initialising media" state.

Is there anything i can do? How can i configure a new Array without the HP Smart Array Assistant or Inteligent Provisioning? Is it safe to use this way the server?

Thank you in advance,
