For 45 years, Boss Enclosures of Suffolk, England, has made electrical enclosures for numerous business and industrial applications. Enclosures like the black-plastic Boss 2030 are often located near factory or office workstations where many circuits worth of machinery or computer equipment are in use. These enclosures are internally built to suit a company's particular needs, but can be easily removed in a fairly standard way. Make sure, however, that the box doesn't contain wire junctions or computer hardware that is still needed in your current configuration.
Instructions
1. Turn off all power to the area in which the Boss 2030 is located. This can be done at the nearest breaker box.
2. Remove any cabling that might be attached to the sides of the enclosure by turning their threaded connectors counterclockwise or simply pulling the male end of a wire connector from its female partner. These boxes are often used to isolate circuitry that needs to be kept both dust-free and easy to access. Make sure these cables you're removing aren't involved with any needed processes.
3. Use a screwdriver to remove the four corner screws on the face of the 2030. Set the screws and top half of the enclosure aside. Sometimes, the faces of Boss 2030s will be clear, depending on the application, which gives you a look at what's inside the enclosure.
4. Access the mounting screws to the back half of the enclosure by removing any circuitry, wiring connections or motherboards that are inside the enclosure. This will vary by application.
5. Remove the mounting screws from the back half of the enclosure (if needed).
6. Restore power to the area and make sure that removing the 2030 didn't affect any operations.
