Re: Supermicro S2DL3 bad cap.


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....

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...
