The server functions properly in terms of backups and storage.

A couple of months ago, my EX475 server started acting up. First there was an indicator that one of the fans was running slow (yellow indicator in the Home Server Console hardware status). The BIOS indicated no problem. The problem remains.

Then, the hard drive lights stopped working, and the only health indicator light that is lit is the one on the left. When I boot up the server, the right light flashes "red" and then extinguishes.

I have replaced the fan in question. I swapped out a new power supply. All hard drives have been chkdsk'd and other utilities used, including the SMART add-in. Everything is fine with the drives. I am running 4 Seagate 2 TB drives.

Recently, I did a full factory reset, and that has not cured the problem.

I have spent countless hours looking through the forums about this, and have tried everything mentioned, and the hard drive and health indicator lights are still not lit.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Wow, you have done everything I would do.
Sounds like it's time to go shopping for a replacement server, maybe even an upgrade to a 490.
Good luck sounds like a hardware failure.
