passed through these servers. What gets me is only 2 servers were stolen and yet they were in there 2 hours "unhooking the computers" so it was said. Doesnt take that long just to "unhook".
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.
They put them on small trolleys and wheeled them out the door and took off with them. One seriously doubts they were anything more than high towers.
