Why each option

After a server is physically installed in a rack, an administrator must ensure the system is properly labeled for easy identification, which is critical for future maintenance and management.

AWarm air flow is permitted through the front bezel

Warm air flow should exit from the REAR of the server and rack, not be permitted through the front bezel, as standard server cooling typically uses front-to-back airflow.

BThe system is labeled so that it can be identifiedCorrect

Labeling the system with asset tags, hostnames, or IP addresses ensures that administrators can quickly identify the specific server among many others in a rack, which is vital for efficient physical maintenance, troubleshooting, and remote management.

CVerify the change control process can be implemented

Verifying the change control process is an administrative and governance task that occurs during the planning and approval phases, not as a physical post-installation check of the server itself.

DDetermine the correct power requirements

Determining the correct power requirements should be completed *before* installing a server to ensure adequate power is available and correctly provisioned, not as a post-installation step.
