All true. Just sayin' that water can get into the
DC even when it's
not intended.
When fighting a fire in another part of a structure, the water may
find it's way into the DC.
Not sure about not allowing water to get near a dc, can you explain
that statement?
The 2 Liebert a/c units that cooled the DC were located inside the
room and were water cooled so there was water around. I also remember
the old IBM 3032 computers at my first site needed chilled water to
operate so there was a lot of piped water going into the room.
The FD did regular inspections and it didn't seem to bother them in
either case.
Funny, but Halon is outlawed and having it around did seem to bother
them. It was replaced with some other gas system that i can't
remember the name.
It is a gas bottle with gas under pressure - they dont like getting hot
they become explosive in that case.
halon is also very much oxygen depriving ie asphyxiating.
