Just set off an old school roadway safety flare inside of one.

Decent chance that'll set off the fire suppression system, which will functionally ruin the datacenter, at least temporarily.

$23 bucks for 6 of em at Walmart.

Also substantially lighter and easier to handle than a bucket of salt.

Uh for legal purposes this is a joke, dark comedy.

Get it?

Because... a flare... is actually... really bright?

Hahaha!

    50/50 it's a data center fire suppression. Doubt they use water. Probably co2 or some other inert gas

    Yeah...you don't want to be in the data center when the fire suppression systems go off. That's exactly it...they starve the fire by displacing oxygen.

    Most datacenters have strict no-cardboard-in-cage rules for this reason.

    And one of the points of a data center is for multiple people to pool shared costs. One of those big costs is physical security, which is where most of a datacenters payroll goes. So good luck getting a road flare anywhere near the servers.

    But if you do get in, just hit the EPO switch. Problem solved.
