When we moved our data center a few years ago, we left the servers intact and moved them. After making Full backups of each system, we had a "Data Center Specialist" moving company come in and pack the servers and move them to the new site. They unload them and placed them in the computer room. We then racked them and began powering them on. We lost 2 hard drives out of 200 servers. All RAID 5 arrays. We had spare drives handy. We had previously installed new main routers and switches along with all CAT 6 cabling. We were up and running in 36 hours.

Pull all the disk drives, label them, pack them, and ship them separately.
