The computer room is on fire and you can't use water? Then what kind of fire suppression system should be used?

Latest company news about The computer room is on fire and you can't use water? Then what kind of fire suppression system should be used?

 A fire breaks out in your server room. The fire alarm sounds. But instead of turning on the sprinklers, the system does something else. It releases a colorless, odorless gas — and the fire is out in seconds. Your servers keep running. No water damage. No downtime.

Why not water? Because water and electronics do not mix.

Water + Servers = Disaster

At first glance, water seems like a logical choice for firefighting. It’s cheap, readily available, and effective. But in a server room, water is not a solution — it is a secondary disaster.



Water Damage Consequence
Short circuits Water conducts electricity, causing immediate server failure
Corrosion Moisture leads to rust and long-term equipment degradation
Data loss Hard drives and storage systems can be permanently damaged
Prolonged downtime Full cleanup and replacement can take weeks
Secondary damage Water spreads throughout the room, damaging unaffected equipment

So What Should You Use?

The answer is a clean agent gas suppression system — and the global standard for server rooms and data centers is FM200 (HFC-227ea) .

Why FM200 Is the Right Choice



Requirement How FM200 Delivers
No water damage FM200 is a gas — no liquid, no residue, no corrosion
Fast suppression Discharges within 10 seconds — fire out before it spreads
Safe for electronics Non-conductive, non-corrosive — servers remain operational
Safe for people NOAEL at 9% — safe for occupied spaces during discharge
No cleanup Gas simply ventilates away — no downtime

How FM200 Extinguishes a Fire

FM200 works through two mechanisms:

  1. Physical cooling — The gas absorbs heat from the fire

  2. Chemical interruption — It breaks the combustion chain reaction

The result: The fire is extinguished in under 10 seconds — and your servers are completely unharmed.

What About Other Options?



Alternative Problem
Dry powder Leaves corrosive residue, clogs fans, damages electronics
Foam systems Messy cleanup, not suitable for electronics
Inert gas (IG) Requires larger cylinders, may cause pressure concerns
FM200 Clean, fast, residue-free — the proven standard

A Real-World Scenario

A fire starts in a server rack. Without FM200, the fire would grow until an automatic suppression system activates — or worse, sprinklers flood the entire room. With FM200, the fire is detected, the system discharges, and the fire is extinguished within seconds. Your servers remain online, your business continues, and no one spends weeks cleaning up.

The Bottom Line

Data centers, server rooms, and telecom facilities around the world trust FM200 because it works. It is fast. It is clean. It leaves no damage — and it protects the equipment that keeps your business running.

Don’t let water destroy what fire started.

Choose XINGJIN FM200 — the proven protection your server room deserves.
