Purdue's insurer REQUIRES fire sprinklers in data centers. And it's not atypical from what I've heard. They are all dry, pre-action systems, which eliminate most of the danger of it accidentally dumping water. It's unlikely that with a dry pipe, pre-action system water will be dumped somewhere

The NCAR Wyoming Supercomputer Center has raised floors of about 20 feet. The auxilary cooling and PDUs are installed down there. Needless to say, you don't pull a floor tile there unless you are on the facility staff!
