No CONFIGURE command 2960L

I just picked up two 2960L's (WS-C2960L-SM-8PS) and both of them are experiencing the same issue. 

 

I connected via console port and booted up. Boot process was mostly normal, except for a couple of "%PARSER-4-BADCFG: Unexpected end of configuration file" errors.

 

Boot process finishes, and I can get into privileged mode no problem. Then things get weird.

 

Try to run "conf t" and I return "% Invalid input detected at '^' marker." What? 

 

Hit ? and CONFIGURE is completely missing from the command list. I am attaching output of both the command list as well as the running config.

 

Any ideas? Never had this issue before. I went through the documentation on the 2960, and it clearly states that you should be able to enable and go right to config mode.

 

I found one other discussion on this topic, but no definite resolution.

 

Thanks for your help.

Got my answer. Apparently I need to do more research. The SM line is WebUI only.
