Just wanted to ask if there is any updated advice for this procedure on these aging DCP2K4 servers with dolphin cards (no projector IMB here).
I've read the docs here, and know it's a CR1220 battery type. Any reliable battery brand recommendation? Panasonic is cited by the KB article.

I've also skimmed a couple prior threads, and it seems many techs do this with the server on with proper precautions out of abundance of caution considering the age of the capacitors that would have to keep the cert alive. I also know to check the expiry of the battery packaging and voltages ahead of the swap. And it seems re-marriage might be required afterwards? Or maybe that depends on if you do it with the server off vs on?
Better to do it now(ish)? Or put it off until we do our other update to extend our certificates (which seems it will require a vendor or tech with the appropriate dolby account to accomplish)?
I don't believe our unit is racked with rails, i think it would have to come all the way out, any issue with powering it up on the bench without monitor/keyboard/network while doing the swap? Should we consider adding rails in the same move?
According to the nag it is time for us to tackle it.
