what is the "name" of your mobo ?

the problem is that there was no memory modules on the mobo there are DIP16 DIP18 and DIP20 sockets without the description. I dont't know how to configure it.
Right now after turn on I am receiving low/high sound.

Ah OK. I cannot see on your photo what is installed. You should 1st try to populate only bank 0 completely and leave bank 1 empty.

Do you have a CGA card? Then you can try the Landmark/Supersoft ROM, gives you diagnostic output without RAM installed 😉

Cool. You don't see too many standard formfactor XT motherboards with integrated I/O and floppy controller (that's what the card edge connector is for)

Ah OK, thanks for confimation. I suspected this as it is a 34 Pin connector, but never tried.

Just powered on mine, it says
"PAC Personal Computer"
on startup and counts 640 k of RAM in the config shown in the picture. However, such board should POST with only 64k installed...so you dont need all the chips...
