Hmm, from me to server more then 1700km, how I can do this?

This is do by manufacturer.
Or in DC after service ordering.
I am don't assemble servers, in general.
And I am don't see servers and don't know how they look.

Deteched disk don't blink activity LED.

For SC847A this do for me in NL DC (as I understand -- through holes
