It appears that all X9 boards use a common BMC firmware, based on release notes for various versions, and diff-ing binaries for totally different boards. But for some reason they only post the latest version for certain ones.

I just found SMT_X9_362.zip, updated on 7/15/2020! Looks like it has some security patches, but most noticeably, it gets rid of the Java popup.

Loaded and runs fine on my X9QRi-F+.

Spoke too soon... 3.62 seems to be missing some files for the jnlp KVM to work, errors out with a file not found exception when you try to use it.

3.55 seems to be the last version with everything working for my board. Still has most of the security upgrades and no java check. :)

Just a word of caution: the X9 IPMI firmware are not universally compatible and can cause problems if used with the wrong boards.
