Serverboards does not accept any memory, you have to check what modules that works. Take the modelnumber from the working one and buy exactly that model -
Take out all memory
Use compressed air in the ram slots.
Clear the CMOS and possibly find a cmost jumper if one exists and move it to clear state.
Power on with jumper in clear state if it exists (nothing may happen that's normal).
Put jumper back to inital state. Repower on the machine (with no ram installed). It should beep at you that no ram is installed (if there is a system speaker installed).
Now put original ram back in carefully.
Power back on. Original state should happen and post should happen again as long as ram is not faulty.
Then go into bios and configure back how it was and look into specific ram compatibility. If server needs to be specific kind of memory usually beyond just matching speeds or you might get a manufacturer warning of incompatible type which stops it from just restarting normally (a pain if working remotely). -
Forside14597yIf I see it correctly this is ECC RAM. Non server CPU's typically can't handle ECC RAM. Also sometimes RAM is simply broken. Had this multiple times already that one out of four modules was bad and I had to return it.

The 4gb one is registered memory, so it is not compatible with workstations.
Whether it has ECC or not doesn't matter, as conventional unregistered (=unbuffered) memory can also have ECC.
