Building a small machine room?

[Steve Hindmarsh]

Halon replacements are now available here in the UK at least - we have
recently replaced our server room halon system with FM200 which is
supposed to be as effective but safer for humans (and the environment).
I don't think you are allowed to install new Halon systems in the UK
now...

Halon is used in situations where water is a threat.  If a sprinkle
head starts
dumping water on a system pluged into a UPS it will get ugly. 

Halon is not banned from telcom rooms so just sell it to the fire
marshal as a
telcom room. I was under the impression that the room would have no
people
permanently stationed in it.

Halon does not kill people. It replaces Oxygen. It can injure or kill a
person
after large and lengthy exposure but not likely.
