Please note: On an earlier startup, the computer displayed “162-System Options Not Set” and “CMOS Checksum invalid, default values loaded.” The CMOS battery was not inspected and may need replacement. Device Manager shows a yellow warning for “PCI Ethernet Controller”; its driver is not installed, and networking was not tested.
The computer has not been opened or inspected internally. Given its age, expect dust inside; cleaning and general service are recommended. Some drive or mechanical operating noise is noticeably louder at times, but its source has not been identified. Other functions and ports were not fully tested.
