Make a backup of all the files and then the database, after that disable the plugin system and then upload vb4.0 in the documentation is how to do that.

How old is the version? If it's a 3.x series, I would back up, upgrade to the latest 3.8.4 first, make another backup, then proceed on to upgrading to 4.0. Make sure you disable all plugins are disabled and there shouldn't be a problem. Lots of tips and howtos in threads on upgrading here, so I would browse a while to familiarise myself and make sure I'm comfortable. Do a couple of test runs on a local server/environment, just to be safe.
