COMMON CAUSES OF A SERVER ROOM FIRE ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT
OVERHEATING ELECTRONICS
Overloading plug sockets is a common problem that is overlooked. So too is short circuiting of electrical components such as switched or power inverters.
Cooling systems can fail or the room is not specified with enough ventilation which then cause components to overheat to the point that ignition is inevitable.
SUBFLOOR WIRING PROBLEMS
Subfloor wiring can become damaged when subfloors are not strong enough, which will cause any number of problems, including overheating or sparks.
FIRES THAT IGNITE NEARBY
DIRT AND GREASE BUILDUP
Cooling fans and other pieces of equipment readily attract dust and when this builds up it insulates the components and causes overheating. Once ignition occurs the dust is yet another ready source of fuel to the fire.
Because server room walls often have many holes and conduits for cables to pass into adjoining rooms and offices, they are more vulnerable to fires that ignite nearby. When the fire reaches the server room it quickly engulfs it and it then becomes a dangerous source of deadly noxious gases.
