First Boot¶
- Connect the MicroSD card or USB Flash Drive containing NEMS Linux to your Raspberry Pi
- Connect the gigabit Ethernet port of the Raspberry Pi to your network using an Ethernet cable
- Power on the Raspberry Pi to boot your NEMS Server
- Wait approximately 5 minutes to perform first-boot operations
During the first-boot operation, the filesystem will be automatically resized to the capacity of your storage and the NEMS Server will reboot.
After the first-boot operations have completed, visit https://nems.local/ in your web browser. If name resolution doesn’t work, try the IP address of your NEMS device instead, which you can find in your router’s DHCP leases table, or on a TV connected to your NEMS Server’s HDMI port.
