Collecting System Event Log for Investigation

If the front panel LED blinks for 30 to 60 seconds upon applying AC power to the power supply, the baseboard management controller (iBMC) is initializing. If not, then the iBMC is not functioning. If the iBMC is working, try to gather system event log (SEL) information for investigation.
