Re: Automated Sprinklers In A Data Center??? said by MadDog3057:I was just thinking the same thing. There's even one that I remember reading about that has a reduced oxygen level to prevent combustion. I wouldn't want to work in that type of Reduced Oxygen Environment, I actually like breathing.
Do we need to earn a new MCSE certification??

Micro$oft Certified Suffocating Engineer It is not as bad as it sounds. Years & years ago I worked in a data center that had these systems(mine was Halon). And 30 secs before they were activated a screaming siren and flashing lights warned of discharge. Plenty of time to leave the affected area. And if the worst case prevented exit somehow, their were emergency switches placed everywhere to disable the discharge of the Halon.

1 edit | Yeah, it's not common that fire suppression systems kill people, but it has happened. I remember a case in 2000 in NYC where a bank employee was locked into the basement.... thinking she'd pull the fire alarm and then the NYFD (or someone) would rescue her, she pulled a switch which activated a CO2 based fire suppression system---- and she suffocated to death. 
AEP had a close call last month.....
