That's a pretty standard thing to do in a data center, and that's why you should always, always label your servers with your email address and mobile phone number. That way, nicer admins might attempt to contact you before they unplug your equipment.

Agreed, labeling servers is the bare minimum required to manage a computer room. Shutting down unlabeled boxes is great because it immediately makes the owner suffer the most from the lack of a label:
- My server is down!

Problem is when it's the datacentre that supplied the server, and didn't label it ...
Cheers,

Also when the label gets old and unreadable, or when someone goes around labelling all the servers in that room and slaps the label straight over the top of *your* label, obscuring it completely (yes, this really happened).
