The backplane may be expecting the host to control the LEDs. You'd have to check with the manufacturer to be sure. As for how it would do this, there's such a thing as enclosure management support in SATA, but the sata_nv driver doesn't support it. If there is a way to use it on that controller, only NVidia would know, since they've provided no documentation for their pre-AHCI controllers. Some AHCI controllers do have support for this..
This is a Norco DS-600s, a really nice rackmount case which has been discontinued by Norco... Unfortunately Norco doesn't have any sort of enduser support and that case was mostly sold as a security DVR enclosure to OEMs so I have not been able to find anything on it.
Unless there's some easy way to figure out what the backplane is doing I'll just put up with it. It's rock solid but it's kind of annoying to have all those drives and no blinkie-lights. :-)
