Out of Band Management enables remote control of the system. Administrative control options include powering
the system on and o, resetting the conguration, and viewing the system log. Before attempting to congure Tru-
eNAS for out-of-band management, ensure that the out-of-band management port is connected to an appropriate
network. Refer to the TrueNAS Mini Basic Setup Guide included with your TrueNAS Mini for detailed instructions on
how to connect to physical ports on the system.
Connect the out-of-band management port before powering on the TrueNAS Mini. You might also need to connect
a monitor and keyboard to the system.
1 Access the BIOS
Press Delete at the splash screen while the TrueNAS Mini is booting to access the system BIOS.
This document contains instructions for conguring out-of-band management from the BIOS, if needed. When the
hardware supports IPMI, the TrueNAS web interface also has IPMI conguration options. For more details, see the
IPMI article on the TrueNAS Documentation Hub.

Station IP address.
Save the changes, exit the BIOS, and allow the system to boot.
