Not sure. There is some prohibition but some exemptions as I recall.
I was only in one large data center that had a halon system. You had to get
trained before you entered as to what to do if it triggered. I remember big
red E stop buttons around. Not sure if that cut off the halon, or turned on
the ventilation system or opened the doors... something to help you survive.

Are Halon systems even legal to install anymore?

I have no recollection of where we were getting them, but we used to huff

halon puts things out (people)

Halon will kill you if you are in the room when it goes off. No oxygen
availability.
Good smoke sniffer system and a rack by rack power killing system is what
some use.
