**First Steps**
|
|
|
|
#. Connect your server to power and ethernet.
|
|
|
|
#. From a client device (desktop/laptop/phone) connected to the same local network as your server, open a browser and visit ``http://start.local``.
|
|
|
|

|
#. Flash your device with a fresh install of StartOS by following the :ref:`flashing guides <flashing>`, making sure to select `Factory Reset` when booting from external media.
