Yes,I did. Every slot has a IRQ number. I used the known good memory from a
normal pc to try it as well. Still does nothing. Im going to get a
diagnostic pci board to check it later.

Did you try the sticks in different RAM slots?

Thanks Nathan,  I did try one stick at a time, still Beeps. So the memtest
cannot do anything.,I wander it is the memory board problem. Buying a new
motherboard should be more expensive than the machine itself. ^_^ And the
machine is quite old. Not sure IBM still has that part.

Could be one of the memory sticks playing up, place one stick at a time into
the server and run memtest (http://www.memtest.org/) over them, if it passes
the memory is fine, the next step is that it could be the memory controller,
a new motherboard will solve this :)

Hi everyone,
I need some advice about the IBM PC SERVER 704. I got it recently. I
boot it once and install openbsd on it successfully with bsd.mp , but
the other day, it beeps three times and stop doing anything, no vidio 
output to show the error message, referred to the manual, it means
"the first 64k memory failure". I tried to reduce the memory sticks(16
peices), but it seems doing nothing. what can I do now?

cheers,Mian
