Right. The diesel generator radiators are also susceptible to the same attack. A few bullets to each radiator would cause a coolant leak, and eventually they'd run out of coolant, overheat, and shut off.

Not enough damage.

Send two drones to firebomb the roof of the datacenter. Wouldn't trigger any fire suppression system that I am aware of.
