It looks like everything is coming together... We have a team
assembled (compiled?) to decommission and move a set of KS10
decsystem-10 36-bit machines and the move happens this weekend!
I was in attendance earlier today as the machines were shut
down for the final time where they have been for quite a few
years. I got a picture of the final systat screen, and they
stopped timesharing...
We then got busy unloading and shutting down all the disk drives.
I then shut down the individual boxes and power controllers for
the system cabinets and isolated the cabling (they had LOTS of
terminal cables). I then raised all the stabilizing feet and
used a tie-wrap to attach the panel keys inside the cabinet. I
then closed and latched the front doors. I also did the same
for the tape drive cabinets. They're all rolling free and ready
to go.
On friday, we'll be pre-staging all the disk drives, and on
saturday we load-out to trucks.
I'll be taking more pictures as we go along...
