There are bolts you can reach from the inside of the CPU cabinet on the right (as
you're facing it) and from the inside of the peripheral cabinet on its left.
They're right where you'd expect, around the edges. There's an installation
manual on Bitsavers that has pictures. -- Ian

Subject: Separating a Vax 11/780 from it's peripheral cabinet...
Anyone happen to know how the Vax 11/780 and the single-wide corporate peripheral cabinet
are joined together? The Vax has good casters, the peripheral cabinet has stupid casters,
and they're joined at the hip. Are there hidden bolts or latches, or some kind of
joiner panel like on the 11/750?
