Then remove the CD and rebooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reboot to get to the config console<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next post we will configure the management IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other Posts in this series<\/p>\n\n\n\n FreeNas build and setup<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Power up and connect the install media for the Freenas server.
