TU81, it's quite a bit deeper. The side-walls
appear to be just
locked at the bottom and then hooked such that one can lift it
up and off, like the TU81's side walls. However, they do not move
no matter how hard I try. I don't find any screws holding them,
though. And with the sidewalls on, I cannot remove the top-cover
either.
So, I was hoping I could at least take it into two pieces by
moving the whole core out in one piece. Apparently that central
unit is just screwed on the front, like a rack-mount device.
Indeed I can move it out quite far. But then it stops at a
protruding piece of the backplane circuit board! There seems
to be no way to move that core all the way out other than by
removing the backplane circuite board. And I'm not going to do
that.
I tried to disassemble a HSC70 and ran into much the same problem. I did
take the backplane out thinking that would assist in removing the sides
and regretted it. It was definitely assembled in a manner that made all
the cabinet components basically inaccessible.
I still have that backplane somewhere.
