If your system has one or more external drive shelves, set the shelf IDs:
1. Connect the shelves to dierent power sources, power on the drive shelf, and then remove the end cap on the left of the shelf.
2. Press and hold the shelf ID 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.
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 eect.
6. Repeat these steps for any remaining drive shelves.
