Note: If your laptop does not support network discovery, see the Detailed guide.

Connect your laptop to the management switch and access the network computers and devices.

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.
