Fire suppression systems
A fire suppression system is the responsibility of the customer. The customer’s own
insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or a local building inspector, or both,
should be consulted in selecting a fire suppression system that provides the correct
level of coverage and protection.
IBM designs and manufactures equipment to internal and external standards that
require certain environments for reliable operation. Because IBM does not test any
equipment for compatibility with fire suppression systems, IBM does not make
compatibility claims of any kind nor does IBM provide recommendations on fire
suppression systems.
Site preparation
The IBM authorized service provider will only perform minimal frame
repositioning within the room, as needed, to perform required service actions. The
customer is responsible for using professional movers or riggers in the case of
equipment relocation or disposal.
