Note: If your laptop does not support network discovery, see the Installation and setup guide.

Connect your laptop to the management switch and access the network computers and devices using substeps a through c.

Power on the shelves and set shelf IDs:

Note: For NS224 drive shelves, shelf IDs are pre-set to 00 and 01. If you want to change the shelf IDs, use the straightened end of a paperclip,

or narrow tipped ball point pen to access the shelf ID button behind the faceplate.

1. Plug the power cords into the shelf power supplies, and then connect them to power sources on dierent circuits.

Note: NS224 shelves have no power switch and will begin to boot. For all other shelf models, turn on the power switch to boot the shelves.

2. If you need to change the

shelf IDs, continue with substeps

a through e; otherwise, skip to

“Power on the controllers” below.

Repeat these steps for any
