Go ahead and reboot! Once it comes back from the reboot, you should have a fully functional home server using the IP address you set up in your network! Next you need to transition your network to use it! = Transitioning to using 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: * Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel* It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly* 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)* The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password. This is the First Admin User created earlier in the Fedora 21 installation.* Once you reach your [[Setup|dashboard]], you should [[Storage_and_file_sharing|create shares]] as needed, [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|add more drives]], install apps, etc., etc.* Optionally refer to [[Greyhole#Amahi_7.2F8|Greyhole]] to install/configure storage pooling. = Troubleshooting = Visit the [[troubleshooting]] pageif you find yourself in trouble. = Reference =Refer to the [[HDA Admin How To]] page for Amahi Server administrator guidance.
