Not sure if I understood you correctly. Let's see... you are trying to
install Debian in a computer with a hard disk connected to "sleds" (I've
never heard from that English word before, but Google seems to suggest
it's like a hard disk case, similar to a caddy or tray) and the hard disk
is not being recognized neither when attached directly to the sled nor
when attached to an external USB case.
It's very strange Debian cannot detect the drive (is SATA, SCSI, IDE hard
disk?) unless you are using a hard disk controller pretty rare/uncommon
or your BIOS setup is using a RAID configuration.
If you can provide additional information on the computer you are trying
to install Debian that will give us more hints to guess what could be
happening :-?
