Are you sure about the 850F id? I have information it should be 980.

I have these VMAX systems. Can you tell the exact VMAX model by the serial number?

Serial # HK197700156

Serial # HK197700155

  Hi Kevin, x977 would indicate these systems are VMAX 950F/FX. Regards David

    Thank you. that is what I thought – VMAX 950F. We assisted in a data center decommission and have 2 systems that we are trying to resell. We will use the SSD drives but have the racked systems and the OS drive intact. We wanted to be certain before we list them for sale.
