FWIW, (and the archives....)
You pull them straight off. Hard. Harder than you'd probably like to.
Of course, I did end up pulling not only the power supply, the
backplane, the lower cardcage tray, and the lower fan tray.
After that, there isn't much left. But w/ some help from the wife it
was carried back downstairs w/ out much difficulty.
Now I wonder if I can put "Humpty-Dumpty" all back together again.. :-)

Hi,
A quick question (should even be on topic... theoretically... )
I've a SGI Crimson, in a older PowerSeries 4D frame that I need to move
from upstairs to downstairs.
Looks alot like so: http://www.schrotthal.de/sgi/4d/440_powerseries.jpg
Anyways, cause its little ol' me, I need to get it as light as possible,
so I don't kill myself (or drop it) trying to get it down the stairs.
I did _completely_ disassemble the thing to dust it, and get it upstairs
in the first place.
I've already pulled the boards/drives which relieves a lot of the
weight, however, I also want to pull the PSU to relieve its weight, then
hopefully I can carry the "carcass" downstairs by myself.
However, for the life of me, I can't remember how the devil I got the
skins off to get access to the PSU. (And I'm still "googling")
Anyone know?
Thanks,
David
PS: If this isn't quite on topic, my apologies, I'll quietly go back to
poking and prodding...
PPS: If it is on topic, and anyone has a set of proper red Crimson skins
they'd like to unload, please let me know. :-)
