Locating the serial number, model, and signature

You will need to record your machine's serial number, model, and signature so that this information is available when you are required to enter it to obtain your feature activation codes.

To locate the serial number, model, and signature, perform the following steps:
  1. Locate the MTMS label on the flange on the front right side of the enclosure at the right front bezel. The MTMS label is a black label with white lettering.
  2. From the MTMS label, record the model and serial number in the table below. The Machine Type - Model Number - Serial Number (MTMS) is a string that contains the machine type, model number, and serial number. Only the last seven characters of the string are the machine serial number. For example, if the MTMS is IBM.1750.511.75FA120, then the machine type is 1750, the model is 511, and the serial number is 75FA120.
  3. Start the DS Storage Manager application.
  4. In the navigation panel select, Real-time Manager > Manage Hardware > Storage Units. On the storage unit main page, select the storage unit, click Properties in the Select Action list, and then click Go. The properties page displays for the storage unit.
  5. From the Machine signature column, note the machine signature in the table below.
