How to dismantle old Meridian PBX systems

Hello
I"m looking for any information on how to dismantle PBX systems for salvaging and was wondering where i could find information in order to help me prepare for the job. We have 3 units to physically remove but am not sure how to go at it or what is involved in order to perform the work.The units are Meridian PBX. This is pretty much the only info i have on them. Thanks for any help with this issue.

Thank you very much for the advice and help...it's greatly appreciated
As a general security precaution, take care to remove as much information as possible.  Valuable tidbits of information that could compromise the facility/company:

User voicemail PINs.  (People hate change.)
Stored speed dial lists.  (Home, cell, wife, girlfriend, bank account #, etc).
Pager notification (...some people still have data populated).
Voicemail messages.
Recorded conversations (monitored calls, etc.).
Access control dialing routines (lock releases, alarm triggers, etc.; if still installed, these systems will likely not have changed their analog dialing codes/PINs).


Good idea, but you can always do a factory reset on it and smash the flash, HD, etc. :)
Ouch!  Not much resale/scrap value after that, is there. :)

thanks very much for all the help
Well, that's a good point.  Legally, you can't resale the licensing anyways, although people do... the true only real value in a chassis are the line cards and the phones.
