May be the CMOS' battery

If it is the battery causing the memory installed to be questioned, in the process
of changing batteries, leave it unplugged overnight without a CMOS battery at all.
The amount of time for the capacitor to discharge varies, so the overnight choice
should cover all bases. I'm not referring to the main battery, and I haven't mentioned
looking for a Reset Jumper.
I've not seen mention of such a jumper in my own Dell Latitude Notebook PC's manual,
I don't think. HP might still have a downloadable file for that Omnibook's manual,
and I believe you caught on to what SCU stands for: Setup Configuration (?Utility?)
.
