Providing a fire-suppression system

Set up an environment that supports the temperature, cooling, and operating requirements of your storage system. You are responsible for providing a fire suppression system for your storage system.

About this task

Because IBM® does not test any equipment for compatibility with fire-suppression systems, IBM does not make compatibility claims of any kind. IBM does not provide recommendations on fire-suppression systems.

1. Consult your insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or local building inspector about selecting a fire-suppression system that provides the correct level of coverage and protection.
2. Set up an environment that supports the temperature and cooling requirements for your storage system as described in the environmental temperature requirements-planning area.
