From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Crawford Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2017 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Server Rooms We have an AHJ that we are dealing with, that when the architect names a small room as a server room, they are going to NFPA #13 (2016) section 22.14 Protection of Information Technology Equipment. Most of the concerns seem to be from a small business taking a space and have a room for a special computer or a small server bank, as most businesses now seem to require. NFPA #75 chapter 3 Definitions 3.3.10 Information Technology Equipment Systems: Any electronic digital or analog computer, along with all peripheral support, memory, programming, or other direct associated equipment, records, storage, and activities. Base on this definition every office that has a computer in it is an Information Technology Equipment room, where do we draw the line. So I guess my question is when is a room with a computer in it a server room and when is it just a room, or maybe when does a computer become a server?
