Trouble adding a DAE to a VNX

We have a VNX5300 with 25-drives. We bought an expansion DAE, also 25-drives.

Having trouble with 2 items:

1) Not sure how to set the shelf ID, where is the button located to change the ID?

2) SAS cables don't line up as expected from diagrams I see on the web. Due to the "key" on the sas cable, im forced to use the "outside" pair of SAS ports on the expansion DAE rather than the "inside" ports.

I referenced the following URL:

They show the (highlighted in blue) SAS cable going from the SP to the "inside" ports, but the key on the SAS cable doesn't allow this, it only fits in the "outside" port on the expansion DAE, which is shown going to another DAE in the diagram  (not shown).

Can someone clarify this please?
