Roasting marshmallows?

Halon isn't used anymore, but it used to be pretty common.  Anymore I think
they opt for FM-200 which isn't as bad.

What would you be doing in a burning server room though?

Haldides are wicked deadly if inhaled though.  They will remove the =
oxygen from your bloodstream and keep oxygen out of your lungs at the =
same time.  You suffocate and die.  Never use haldides like Halon in a =
closed space.  I doubt you could find anyone to install such a system in =
a server room.  Water and powder are  the practical choices.

I generally try to just not start fires near my server room.  Has worked =
well so far.

Not water!!! I think I'd rather burn. Halides are the best system to my
understanding as they suppress the oxygen but you don't get the gunk =
which
CO2 deposits which the fans love to suck up!

This is off topic, but I have a quick question.

We are looking into getting a fire suppression system for our server =3D
room.  The architect for the building recommends plain old water via =3D
sprinkler head, not any inert gas or anything.  He says water is better =
=3D
because the inert gas leaves a fine powder behind that is hard to clean =
=3D
up.  I can't believe that water can be any good.  Anyone have any =3D
insights??
