    Supermicro S2DL3 bad cap.

    Hello..Excellent forum here..

    The supermicro board S2DL3 has the bad cap problem as well. It is a dual XEON board with serverworks 3 chipset.. Machine experienced random reboots.. I let it rest for a while until the recent issue with the Dell GX270 bad cap recall came to light. Out of a whim, I checked the board and about 5 1000uf 10v caps were swelled.

    I regret not taking pics..however, I replaced all the 1000uf caps on the board with new panasonic low esr caps..around 19 of them in total.. They original looked like the rubycon knockoff caps..(rulycon) It seems to be working fine after replacement. This is a $600 board which got a new lease in life after $20 in caps. Thanks to the info here even though it did not apply to my board.. Excellent and I hope to participate where I can..

    Funny how $20 not spent from the get go left you in this position isn't it...yet some will argue that a mainboard is just another throw away consumer good...

        i see supermicro boards here all the time
        got 2 this morning for recapping.
        just remember if its green and says nrsy its bad.
        my test for those caps it to drop them in the can.
        if they clunk when they hit the bottom they were bad.

          Expensive, yes. It is a dual xeon board with on board scsi and 64 bit PCI slots.. Quite a bit expensive 4+ years ago. It is a server board..so, price was expected to be a bit high.. When it worked, it was a solid workstation/server board which was extremely fast.

          The caps are those by the two cpu slots to the right of the board.

                What I meant was how can you tell by the clunk that the cap is bad?

                  *sigh*

                  It's like the old joke... How do you tell a politician is lying? His lips are moving.
                  How do you tell a capacitor was bad? It clunks when you throw it in the can...
