You may be thinking of a HP7905 or DEC RA80, now
these are different
beasts... (we had the RA80 pushed into a shelf at about 2,0m high, and
also pulled it out again when we had to move to our new building four
years ago, and we were only two)
The trick with RA80's (and Fuji Eagles, and other late 10.5"/14"
Winchesters) is to pull the HDA from the box, mount the box in
the rack, and THEN put the HDA in the box.
Eagles and RA8x's are remarkably modular. You can also reasonably
pull the power supply from the Eagle frame for even less weight
(with the HDA and the PS out, it's mostly sheet metal and some
framing...)
