the ID:

digit flashes.
3. Press the tab until the correct number is displayed.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second digit.
5. Press and hold the tab until the second number stops flashing. Result: Both numbers start flashing
and the Fault LED on the operations panel illuminates after about five seconds.
6. Power-cycle the unit to make the new ID take effect.
7. Replace the front bezel.

Setting EXN4000 or EXN1000 storage expansion unit shelf IDs

A unique shelf ID (from 1 to 7) is required for each EXN4000 or EXN1000 storage expansion unit in a
loop.
Shelf ID 1 is used for the first EXN4000 or EXN1000 storage expansion unit in a new loop. Shelf IDs for
additional storage expansion units are incremented sequentially from the number of the first unit.
To adjust the storage expansion unit shelf ID, press the - or + buttons.
