On Drive units, open one of your own units, here DRV-0377, and scroll to Sealed batches. Rotate the key is at the foot of the panel. Use it when the unit is replaced or its key may have been exposed.

Choose Rotate the key. In the dialog, paste the new public key that the unit shows on its service screen.

Choose Rotate the key, and Rotate the key again to confirm. The foot of the panel now names the new key version. Batches signed with the old key stay valid; from now on only the new key is accepted.
