Stop the Zeta function from evaluating

I have a function F whose power series i want to find using Series.



It gives me the result I want, except there is a term of $pi^4/10800$, and i want it to tell me if the result is Zeta[2]^2/300 or Zeta[4]/120. Is there a way to force the Zeta function to not evaluate?



F[x] = Integrate[Binomial[x, k], k, 0, x];
Series[F[x], x, 0, 3] // TeXForm



$x+fracpi ^2 x^336+Oleft(x^4right)$




I want the output to be $x+x^3fraczeta(2)6$ instead.

          You could Block Zeta so that it doesn't evaluate:



          Block[Zeta=Inactive[Zeta],
          Series[F[x],x,0,6]
          ] //TeXForm



          $x+frac16 x^3 operatornameZeta(2,1)-frac16 x^4 operatornameZeta(3)+frac160 x^5
          left(operatornameZeta(2,1)^2+9 operatornameZeta(4,1)right)+x^6 left(-frac130 operatornameZeta(3)
          operatornameZeta(2,1)-frac2 operatornameZeta(5)15right)+Oleft(x^7right)$
