You can get chemical (waterless) system for computer rooms - look up FM200 -
although I think it is a wee bit expensive.

Subject: [isalist] OT: Fire suppression in server room
http://www.ISAserver.org
Hello all--
This is rather off topic, but I figured you all probably have experience with
this. I KNOW you'll have opinions! :-)
Our current server room is just a room in our department. The only fire
suppression in there is a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall--nothing
automated. We're building a new server room in the basement, though, and the
space already has water-based sprinklers. The building manager thinks that
should be fine. ("If the sprinklers go off, we just dry off the servers with a
hair dryer and start them back up.") But I'm not so sure. I know he sees it
from a cost point of view--the cost of building the room--whereas I see it from
the cost of having to replace water-damaged servers, not to mention having
downtime while we do that.
What sort of automated fire suppression systems (if any) do you have?
Thanks,
Rob
