The installation process covers installing TrueNAS using an iso.

TrueNAS uses DHCP to provide the initial system IP address. After that, either use the Console setup menu to reconfigure the primary network interface with a static IP address or use the TrueNAS UI to make network changes and complete the initial configuration.

Finally, it covers backing up your system configuration to a file and saving an initial system debug file.
