(... requisite disclaimer that I've searched the documentation and cannot find the answer on my own ...)

I have a box that was running on a version of FreeNAS 9.2. The motherboard has died and won't boot up in any way (won't even send video of a boot-up process to a monitor). The box has five 2TB drives in a RAID-Z1, and I have no reason to believe the pool is in any way corrupted. I had a copy of the config file once upon a time, but cannot find it, so don't ask about it.

If I get a new motherboard/CPU/memory (with the intent to install the latest version of FreeNAS), can I mount these drives to restore the pool? If so, how? (There's nothing truly irreplaceable on this machine, but it would be a massive PITA if I lose the data.) Thanks in advance!
