Water sprinklers in the server room
So I walked into this newly built server room and see a water sprinklers hanging right on the top of the racks.
I never seen sprinklers in the server rooms before in my career. Is it acceptable for the server rooms or absolutely no no? Wonder other's opinions before I push back hard. I understand this is not a data center but a server room for 100 users office floor.
Thanks in advance.

What would be other options nowadays? I know halon is an older technology. Is there other inert gas etc?

So regarding >> A Sprinkler system in a data center is usually there because people were cheap or did not know any better.>> I totally agree!
And I want to be neither of those people :)
So I guess another question I want to ask is; what would be the most affordable dry-suppression option for the server rooms?

Asked the building mgmt >> with a chemical system we would still need a wet system in the room per code, but with a pre-action system we would not>> So looks like I stuck with regular sprinklers?
