Is there something I can enable to make them work? Or is the > backplane broken? I have a Tyan Transport GT20 and the individual drive bay LEDs don't work at all. Annoying, but I'm not physically near the system that much. If I recall correctly, on the GT20 the backplane didn't have the capability to light the LEDs (although then I don't understand wtf there are LEDs there... perhaps Windows has some way of lighting them).
