I got this server as a freebie from a friend. No harddisks or caddies, so I got some caddies off eBay and I had a ton of spare Hitachi 500Gb SATA drives laying around. Firmware all updated, Controller event log says "not a certified drive" for all the Hitachi disks.
I wouldn't care, except it's also flashing all the health icons on the caddies every second. No array issues, drives working fine.
Is there a way to disable the amber health LED or to perhaps flash a different firmware to the harddrives that will get rid of this error.
I don't want to spend money on certified drives for a system i'm just going to be playing around with and not actually running in production. I'd also like to avoid causing a panic attack to anyone who sees the front of this thing and all the lights going wild.
