Thanks. I was hoping that was the case. :-)

BTW, I was picking on your bldg mgr; not you.
You at least had the good sense to ask around.
He clearly doesn't know (or care).

That's kinda what I thought. But, hey, I've never built a server room
before.
Thanks,
Rob

EEEEeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!
Water for electronic fire suppression?!?!?
Tell your building manager that he's SO fired!!
If you're not using CO2, Halon or a dry chemical system, you're just
asking for more pain than you need (but maybe not more than you
deserve?).
Also, if your fire system doesn't kill power to the servers FIRST,
you're really in for some fun. The emergency power kill *MUST* disable
any UPS as well or it's useless.
Tom; you need to forward this query to "you-know-who" - she'll love it.

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
