What should a consultant consider when completing a bare-metal imaging process?

When completing a bare-metal imaging process, it is crucial to avoid connecting any device to the node's USB port that presents virtual media such as a CD-ROM. This is important because such devices can interfere with the imaging process, potentially leading to errors or misconfigurations by presenting alternative boot options or media.
