If your system has one or more drive shelves, set the shelf IDs:
1. Power on the drive shelf, and then remove the end cap on the left of the shelf.
2. Press and hold the orange button until the first digit blinks, and then press the
button to advance the first digit (0-9) to the desired number. The first digit
continues to blink.
3. Press and hold the button until the second digit blinks, and then press the button
to advance the second digit (0-9) to the desired number. The first digit stops blinking,
and the second digit continues to blink. Each expansion shelf requires a unique shelf ID.
4. Press and hold the button until the second digit stops blinking, and then replace
the end cap on the shelf.
5. Wait about 10 seconds for both digits to start blinking again and for the LED to
illuminate, and then power-cycle the drive shelf to make the shelf ID take effect.
6. Repeat these steps for any remaining drive shelves.
