Cant Upgrade Bios Supermicro X9DRI-LNF4. When I try I get an error that says FFS checksums Bad. I've disabled the write protect jumper on the board. tried multiple flash drives to make sure they're not bad. swapped out ram to make sure its not corrupt. I have Firmware version 1.0 on this board, would like to get it to 3.2. Also these boards are weird where the model number shows in the bios is similar but not the same as that printed on the board. Board clearly says X9DRI-LNF4 where as the bios says X9Dr6-LNF4

Does it work with the "X9Dr6-LNF4" bios? If yes I would make sure that it's the right mainboard by comparing spec sheets, manuals or other sources.
Did you mean X9DRi-LN4F? Supermicro doesn't show any -LNF4 variants.
The README in the BIOS Zip file says "You must update the IPMI firmware to version 2.0 or above first, Before upgrading this BIOS." Did you do that?
I have the same problem with "FFS checksums Bad" at X9DRi-LN4F+.
When I try update BIOS in DOS prompt by command DOS: AMI.BAT X9DR3P5.304
(where X9DR3P5.304 is file name bios version 3.0 from file X9DR3P5_304.ZIP)
then I get an error text: FFS checksums: bad. Why!? Nobody knows.

I have the newest IPMI frimware 03.48 from this website:
supermicro.com/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI.aspx?MoboType=1&keywords=X9DRi
( Super Micro Computer, Inc. | Support )
IPMI works fine,
but I still can't update BIOS by DOS promt from version 1.0a
to version of BIOS "R 3.48" from file name X9DR3P5.304 [from X9DR3P5_304.ZIP].
Anyone can help?
Open a ticket with supermicro support and ask for the bios version 2.x for this mainboard. Try to update to this version first and then try the v3 bios.
