He he... this is what can be read near a CRAY! Vernatim notice follows:

 WARNING

You must ensure that there is one fresh air change per hour in the
computer room and that there are no sources of excessive heat
(temperatures greater than 390  F [200  C]) that might cause the
dielectric coolant to decompose. Do not permit smoking in the computer
room or any other area where the dielectric coolant is used or stored.

  
 WARNING 
 
Respiratory hazard. Do not expose dielectric coolant to excessive heat.
Dielectric-coolant liquid can decompose and produce hazardous by-products
when exposed to excessive heat. 
 
Dielectric coolant is a safe product when used properly. Refer to Safe Use
and Handling of Fluorinert Liquid, Cray publication number HR-00306-A, for
information on Fluorinert liquid properties and precautionary
requirements. All personnel must read this publication before they work in
the computer room where the CRAY system is located.
