I don't believe they told you the truth here.

First, generators are "outside", so any fire suppression system to extinguish a generator fire would go off "outside", not indoors where the servers are.

Next, fire suppression would be a Halon system for a generator, being fuel is involved, not a water sourced sprinkler system.

Wouldnt most electronic storage areas/ high voltage places be coded against a water based fire suppression system???

Water and electric dont mix sorta thing???

Grandfathered building???
Exempt from codes???








I doubt L.A. allows exemptions.


Lol, and once again Elk shows his ignorance.

Below is a picture of some of the generators at one of the Equinix data centers. If you look very carefully at the ceiling you'll see a sprinkler system in place. Hint: it's the red pipe.
