Default Error Beeps - Need Identification of them

I have an old IBM T43 laptop which dont have a harddrive in it. When I
turn it on, I get error beeps and nothing else.

Of course without a hard drive, I only expected to see the setup screen.
(BIOS)

I am getting this: 1 3 3 1 (These are the beeps)
one beep, three beeps, three beeps, one beep.

What does this mean?
I know these beeps are like morse code and mean something.

One other thing, (Not for the same computer)

Is there something built into XP Pro SP3 that shows how much RAM is in a
computer? I went to Control Panel - System - Device Manager. It shows
everything except the RAM. I recall back in the DOS days, there was a
command that could be typed to determine memory, but I am not sure if
that works with modern OSs, nor can I remember the command.
