The led will not light up. you will see the drive in whatever tool used to initialize it. but you will not see the green light nor the heartbeat light on the sata bays.  The 2 leds on the caddy, in the sata bays, will only light up if using software raid in windows, for all I know. Once the drive is initialized, will cause the small white led just under the power button, to blink ( on access )
Hi all, A month ago our new Dell Tower 5820 arrived. Here's the link to the configuration: [URL]#techspecs_section In our build we only added one hard drive (M.2 256GB PCIe NVMe Class 40 Solid State Drive). We ordered an additional new SATA SSD (2.5" - 4TB). The instructions for plugging the SSD into the Flexbay were followed. It was plugged into the left top slot, the existing M.2 was in the top right slot. When powering up the workstation, the status LED on the hard drive carrier (the heartbeat icon) is flashing amber (status: drive has failed). In the BIOS the SSD is not showing too. Could anybody help us in figuring this out or have an idea what might be wrong?   PS. The OS that is used is Ubuntu 20.04.   Kind regards, Michiel
