Hi,
has anyone of you ever disassembled an HSC cabinet? I am looking
pretty stupid right now. It's not the first piece of DEC iron
equipment that I have moved in pieces, I did two VAX6000 and one
TU81+. But this one is different. While being half-height like the
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.
Despite the fact that they appear glued in place, I believe they remove
in the same manner as the TU81 and other cabinets. I have had some that
were very difficult to get off. I find that a flat pry bar (nail
puller) placed under the side and prying against the horizontal lip on
the under frame near the wheels will break the side panel loose from the
brackets it hangs on.
I have had to use quite a bit of force on some of the cabinets to get
the sides off. After removing them for the first time, they seem to go
on and off easily.
