Default Booting a Mac mini A1283.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me whether an A1283 can boot with the lid off?

I've had the machine apart to check the lithium cell and HDD.
The cell has 3 V and gparted in Debian 10 finds an HFS file
system on the drive.

If possible I want to verify bootability before putting the lid on.
Wondering whether the tab at the back of the lid needs to touch
the contact in the hole allow booting.

Thx, ... P.
