Hello

The IO Pi Plus does not have separate I2C pins on the board so you will need to use the SDA and SCL pins on the GPIO port. The photo below shows which two pins to use. The IO Pi Plus includes pull-up resistors so you will not need to add those to your hardware clock, but if it already has pull-up resistors built in then it should still work ok.
