If your system has one or more external drive shelves,
set the shelf IDs:
1. Power on the drive shelf, and then remove the end cap on the left of the shelf.
2. Press and hold the orange button until the first digit blinks, and then press the button to advance
the first digit (0-9) to the desired number. The first digit continues to blink.
3. Press and hold the button until the second digit blinks, and then press the button to advance
the second digit (0-9) to the desired number. The first digit stops blinking, and the second digit continues to blink.
4. Press and hold the button until the second digit stops blinking, and then replace the end cap on the shelf.
5. Wait about 10 seconds for both digits to start blinking again and for the LED to illuminate,
and then power-cycle the drive shelf to make the shelf ID take eect.
6. Repeat these steps for any remaining drive shelves.

Configure your system using the Application Setup Wizard
1. Assign an initial node management IP address to one of the nodes.
If you have DHCP configured on your management network, record the IP address assigned to the new controllers.
Otherwise,
a. Open a console session using PuTTY, a terminal server, or the equivalent for your environment.
b. Enter the node management IP address when prompted.
2. Use System Manager Guided Setup to configure your cluster.
a. Point your browser to the address you assigned in step 1: https://x.x.x.x.
b. Enter the data from your Cluster Configuration Worksheet.
3. Run Config Advisor from your client to check the hardware installation of your system and for conformance
to NetApp® recommended settings.
