Dashboard Server GUI Login - Interface Validation Check
-----------------------------------------------------------

1. In a browser, navigate to the Dashboard GUI, using a URL with the following format: 

   `https://<IP address>` 

   If the log in page displays, this validates that the system is reachable and the 
   Apache service is running.

2. Log in to the system using admin credentials (**admin / admin**).

   Successful authentication indicates that the system processes are running, and 
   serving its GUI via Apache.

3. View the default Dashboard. 

   Data displayed in the dashboard validates GUI function and connectivity to the 
   DS9 Collector system from the Dashboard system.
