	+	= Transitioning to your Amahi server =
	+
	+	Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know:
	+	<ul>
	+	<li>Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel</li>
	+	<li>This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface. '''Installing the Desktop (e.g. GNOME) interface will break DNS/DHCP and make the HDA as an unsuitable network server''' [[Amahi_8_Troubleshooting#Virtualization_Stack_Breaks_DNS.2FDHCP_Server\|(details)]]</li>
	+	<li>It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly</li>
	+	<li>You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)</li>
	+	<li>The first time you access the dashboard, you will need to log in with user name and password as noted above in [[Amahi_11_Install#Prerequisites\|Prerequisites]].
	+	<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-collapsetext="{{int:Screenshot}}" style="width:400px">
	+	[[file:A11-SS1.PNG\|250px]]
	+	</div><br></li>
	+	<li>Once you reach your dashboard, recommend you configure your HDA [[Setup\|settings]], [[Storage_and_file_sharing\|create/manage shares]], [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA\|add more storage space]], install apps, etc.
