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.
Just to point out the (maybe) obvious - why unscrew all those screws when you can just cut the cables? After all, you are *stealing* the thing. Allow a little extra time to tidy up all those loose ends of cables (shove them back under the floor?)
and away you go. Arthur -- Arthur Clune, Systems Security Advisor, The Computing Service University of York, UK, YO10 5DD. +44 (0) 1904 433129 _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
