Anywhere where sprinklers are installed above electronic equipment should use the 'dry-main' system, whereby there is compressed air, not water, in the system until a sprinkler its triggered and the air is released. There is then an evacuation delay until the water arrives. The reason is obvious - sprinkling the electronic equipment is dangerous to people. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
