Unless of course IBC 904.2 Para. 2 applies, otherwise alternative automatic extinguishing systems are acceptable.

We provided a 360'F head located at the door access (4" off wall, with head guard) We had asked the IT guy at what temp was all his stuff fried anyway, and he said anything over 300'F and it all had to be replaced. Hence the 360'F head. Where it's located at the doorway it is protected from most possible damage by the lintel over the door and the guard is just incidental. Any small leak or drip would drop straight down and not on any equipment. If your dead set against a wet head, I think there are Intergin Balls out there for confined spaces, like boat engine rooms ect.
