GLYPH<SM590000> Copy Services license (CS):

GLYPH<SM590000> z-synergy Services license (zsS):

The licensed functions are enabled through a 533 x  ( x =1 - 4) licensed function indicator feature, plus a 904 y -FF8 ( y =6 - 9) licensed function authorization feature number: 

GLYPH<SM590000> The DS8000 provides Enterprise Choice warranty options that are associated with a specific machine type. The x  in 533 x  designates the machine type according to its warranty period, where x  can be 1, 2, 3, or 4. For example, a 5334-996 machine type designates a DS8950F storage system with a four-year warranty period. 

GLYPH<SM590000> The y  in 904 y  can be 6, 7, 8, or 9, according to the associated 5331/5332/5333/5334 base unit model.
