When retro-fitting in this fashion what steps are required to ensure there is no interference with the existing fire suppression ?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the question - it is really valid and important. First thing is that you must have sufficient gas discharge points inside the contained area if it is a cold aisle or outside the contained area if it is a hot aisle. This is because the gas will always follow the route of airflow - viz cold to hot. Usually it is relatively simple to move these to suit with minimal expense.
Perhaps I will blog this in more detail in a few days. Would that be helpful?
