Data centers feature [[fire protection]] systems, including [[passive fire protection|passive]] and [[Active Design]] elements, as well as implementation of [[fire prevention]] programs in operations. [[Smoke detectors]] are usually installed to provide early warning of a fire at its incipient stage.

Although the main room usually does not allow [[Wet pipe sprinkler|Wet Pipe-based Systems]] due to the fragile nature of [[Circuit-boards]], there still exist systems that can be used in the rest of the facility or in cold/hot aisle air circulation systems that are [[closed system]]s, such as:<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facilitiesnet.com/datacenters/article/Data-Center-Fire-Suppression-Systems-What-Facility-Managers-Should-Consider--14595|title=Data Center Fire Suppression Systems: What Facility Managers Should Consider|website=Facilitiesnet|access-date=2018-10-28|archive-date=2024-05-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240522091545/https://www.facilitiesnet.com/datacenters/article/Data-Center-Fire-Suppression-Systems-What-Facility-Managers-Should-Consider--14595|url-status=live}}</ref>

However, there also exist other means to put out fires, especially in [[Server farm|Sensitive areas]], usually using [[Gaseous fire suppression]], of which [[Halon gas]] was the most popular, until the negative effects of producing and using it were discovered.[https://www.epa.gov/ozone-layer-protection/halons-program]
