Umm... We're not talking about a 5U-high Netfinity, probably. We once had occasion to move an IBM 9672 (which is as near as I can tell the same size/ class machine) across the machine room, and it was a long morning's work. Even a *small* S/390 or z-series system can have 48 channel cables on it, 128 is not at all uncommon - and IBM uses some pretty hefty screws to hold them in place. It's a *little* better if all the disk is on onboard drawers - but a man-hour to prepare a box that size for shipping is doing *really* well - and presumably this was a well planned job and they REALLY wanted the machine to make it to their hideout intact.. ;)
