Visually verify that the shelf ID for each SAS storage expansion unit is unique. If an ID is not unique, set
the ID:
1. Remove the front bezel if you have not already removed it.
2. Press and hold the shelf ID U-shaped tab (for EXN3000s) or button (for EXN3500s) 1 until the first
digit blinks.
3. Press the tab or button until the correct number is displayed.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second digit.
5. Press and hold the tab or button until the second number stops blinking.
Result: Both numbers start blinking and the Fault LED on the operations panel illuminates after about
five seconds.
6. Power-cycle the SAS storage expansion unit to make the new expansion unit ID take effect.
7. Replace the front bezel.
