    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.
