can you power up a Tempest minus the aux/math board?

Just out of curiosity, will a Tempest game power up if you have just the main board in there and no aux/math board? I'm just wondering what error it would generate, if any, since the math board is missing. Obviously when there are probs with the math board it gives you the 'M' error, will it state the same if the board isn't there at all?
 
You can in test mode. You'll get errors for mathbox and the pokeys. But its a quick test of the main board and video out section.
