Disable Sprinkler System?

Notify client of the problem, make sure you receive written notification that your will not be held responsible for any damage caused by water and then sell them an offsite server and backup

The thread wasn't so much about rules and bypassing safety measures, it was to see what other suggestions you guys might have on protecting equipment that ISN'T the culprit. There may be some sort of dry powder dispenser system that we may consider.

Just have good backups, it's very rare that a sprinkler goes off. Test the backups, then, test them some more. (And get them offsite)
