Answer
Please DO NOT use yafukcs utility for a X9 motherboard. That utility was designed for Supermicro's X8 motherboard (previous generation). The new generation X9DRW-3F, X9DRW-iF, and X9DRG-QF boards uses RKCSFLSH.exe utility. If you go to Supermicro's website and search for the board, on the board's page there will be a link to the IPMI update package (.zip). Inside the .zip file will contain the firmware image and another .zip with all the flash utilities for that board.
