Yes. It is next to floppy in the upper half of the chassis. There is a
50-pin (IDC connectors) ribbon cable that goes down to system board at
the bottom of the lower half of the chassis. The chassis splits in the
vertical middle in a, if looking at the chassis, fairly obvious place.
Because of the cables that run from the top to bottom, it effectively
hinges at the front of the chassis. There a couple buttons on the side
to release and sometimes a security cable bit to remove (phillips screw).

Well, as I said, in my experience, the NVRAMs that you can buy new
from Mouser work good enough. And the mod to the original battery
isn't that hard to make.
In my experience with IPCs, the bigger problem is the power supplies.
If the PS on the IPC that you have now doesn't need to be re'capped
now, it will need it soon. After that will likely be the HDD that
needs work. Almost all of my HDDs that originally shipped with
lunchbox systems up to the 424 meg (ST1480N) have died. The price for
working 50-pin SCSI HDDs are at a point that SD2SCSI parts make more
sense (unless you want to exhibit them as they originally ran).

A 4/40 is a SPARCstation IPC. It used a M48T02 NVRAM for the IDPROM.
Yes, one with the dreaded battery.
