Time to change RTC Dallas module of my Octane
Hi everybody !

Since few months, my Octane 1.5 is not able to keep the right time.
So I think it's time to change the RTC Dallas module on the motherboard … two questions about it :

1- I found this compatible module and it looks really popular in the SGI's owners community. Is that a good one ?
2- Is it an easy thing to do ? Except being careful with compression connectors do I have to pay attention to another thing ? I don't want to kill my Octane.

The second point is about the "battery system NVRam" on the front board (called System Identification Module in the owner guide - p184-185). Is it a good idea to change it too ?

Thanks by advance for your answers.
