How to ensure the fire safety of a home server room?

Question

Server equipment

Good afternoon, I am actively studying system administration at the moment, I plan to buy 2 - 3 old PCs for servers on linux and NAS at home for educational purposes.
The question arose about ensuring the fire safety of all this
disgrace
. and a router, it is most preferable there, minus in the wooden structure (bottom and sides), dust level is low
2. Pantry - concrete walls, wooden floor, minus in a large number of boxes near the equipment
Does anyone have any practice on home fire safety of such solutions?

Answer 1

It is enough to put it all in a closed server cabinet, and use extension cords to a minimum - if something lights up, then rather they. Also install automatic machines corresponding to the wiring, and a fire-fighting ouzo

Answer 2

1. If there is a tree, and there are doubts, you can:
- treat it with reagents
- sheathe
it 2. If you want something strange, you can use automatic fire extinguishing systems with both external electrical and thermal initiation:
- automatic powder type

- automatic carbon dioxide \ freon, such as

The former are cheaper and easier to find, but are guaranteed to damage equipment when triggered The latter are more expensive and harder to find, but do not damage PS
equipment
any automatic fire extinguishing system can falsely work. Especially if installed incorrectly. Especially in the server room, where it can get a little hot.

Answer 3

Well, you're not afraid that the switch with the router will catch fire ...
So there's nothing to be afraid of for computers, they don't burn.
It is better to think about noise and cooling, 2-3 old PCs in a closed pantry or a closed mezzanine will noticeably warm up and make noise.

Answer 4

I have never seen or even heard of iron burning. But for greater fire safety, you can buy pyrostickers and stick them inside the cases.

Answer 5

Whoever is destined to be flooded, neighbors from above, is not given to burn in the fire.
if the computer is in the case, then it's not so scary - there is nothing to burn there,
there is, but the case will not allow the flame to spread.
I would not bother, especially in a residential area,
with my nose, you will smell smoke faster than some kind of cunning protection works)))
