[Cialug] Slightly OT: Server Room Temperature

[Jonathan C. Bailey]

I don't believe we have any pipes in our server room.. I may be wrong. The closest to a fire we've been was because the building has 3 phase power and we have a single phase panel. To add to that, the phases weren't balanced... You can guess what almost happened next.

Also, our standing order is that, if possible, just grab the 3 drives in the backup server.

In some instances, fire codes may require water based fire suppression
systems, even in a data center.  I don't think that's a problem around
here, but in any case when the fire department shows up with their hoses
they aren't going to worry about damaging your servers when they start
hosing down your building.
