Hi Bimamolu,

Two beeps indicate RAM failure. Here is the link http://dell.to/13PHc5X which would show you the steps to remove and reset the Memory module. Once you click on the link, please click on the service manual and navigate to page number:24.

Try to boot the system with only one memory module first and then the second one to check functionality. You may also test with a different good known memory module (if available).

Please respond for further assistance.

Thanks & Regards
Rathish C
