DS1512+ LEDs not indicating SMART errors

[chong]

One of the drives in my 1512+ just developed SMART failures, and DSM is telling me to take action:



However, none of the LEDs on the NAS are alerting me to the presence of a problem! Is this an expected behaviour? Surely those 2 shiny bright LEDs (STATUS & ALERT) can be put to better use?

Running DSM 4.0-2219.

I tried rebooting the NAS, and nothing changed (GUI shows SMART error, while LEDs still not indicating the presence of an issue).

Another user also observed this limitation: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=50808

Here's the reply I received from Synology support:
