Electronic data processing involves storage, recall and useof information via electronic equipment. Electronic data pro-

cessing equipment is found in almost every industry today.

The equipment is very sensitive and operates within minute

tolerances. Additionally, many computer installations are

designed with a subfloor area containing data and power

cable bundles.

Because of the high dollar valve of the equipment, the data

managed by that equipment and the productivity provided

by electronic data processing, rapid detection and efficient

fire protection are imperative. Time lost to cleanup and ven-

tilation of a computer room means lost time throughout the

company, so these areas require a clean, no residue gas

agent that disperses easily.

The computer room and subfloor space can be protected

with an SAPPHIRE suppression system, even when the

computer room is normally occupied.

Fires can occur within the computer electrical insulation and

in the cable bundles in the subfloor. Paper debris that has

been allowed to accumulate in the subfloor is also a source

of fuel.

Computer room/subfloor protection can be accomplished by

installation of a total flood SAPPHIRE system. The

system is designed in accordance with the ANSUL design,

installation manual and NFPA Standard 2001, Standard for

Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems. It is importantthat an effective agent concentration not only be achieved,

but shall be maintained for a sufficient period of time to

allow effective emergency action by trained personnel.

The SAPPHIRE system consists of a tank(s), a piping

arrangement and discharge nozzles located in the comput-

er room, storage room, and subfloor space.

Occasionally, drainage is installed in the subfloor area.

Provisions must be made for making the drain piping a

closed system unless water is present to assist in assuring

the necessary concentration.

When the computer room is normally occupied, personnel

safety is of first concern. Alarms or warning devices mustbe located in the room to provide sufficient annunciation of

agent discharge. The rooms and subfloor must be tight to

prevent loss of agent.

All air handling equipment must be shut down and

dampered prior to system discharge.

Smoke detectors, operated by an electronic control panel,

are usually employed with a SAPPHIRE system to provide

detection and thus suppression of a fire before it has a

chance to do serious damage.

The authority having jurisdiction may have additiona

requirements.
