I'm looking at a move from Colorado to Florida,

WAVE OFF, WAVE OFF!

I nearly didn't escape that godforsaken place with my sanity and

career intact.

Add to that, air conditioning 12 months out of the year, regular

equipment loss due to lightning, and absurd electricity prices...I really
don't know why anyone lives there anymore.

and have quite some equipment to ship in my moving container (PODS or

equivalent). I am wondering what the best way is to safely ship a HP 16702B
Mainframe with some cards in it. I haven't taken off the plastic bumpers
off the cards, they haven't caused issues in Colorado - but wouldn't be
surprised if they are potentially/likely in FL. Most of my moving stuff
will likely have to be stored for a few months - so that could be a concern.

Do I remove the cards from the unit and bag'm with desiccant

separately in an antistatic bag, or would removing the cables from the
cards to make the unit as small as possible with nothing sticking out be an
OK solution? Ideas? Or is it safer - to transport it in my car myself?
Which will possibly a size problem, it's just a Honda Fit.

Suggestions? Recommendations?

Been there, done that, many times, with hundreds of instruments.

Definitely remove the cables, but the safest place for those cards to

travel is in the instrument.

Rack-mount test equipment is best moved on its side, lined up against

the wall of the truck/container/etc. Optionally tuck moving pads or
cardboard between them. Do whatever you have to do to immobilize them.

And keep ibuprofen handy. ;)
