announced that it was ending support for products running EMS firmware, and switching to the AMI MegaRAC SP-X firmware platform instead. The company began releasing server motherboard firmware updates to replace the BMC firmware with the new AMI MegaRAC SP-X. Gigabyte’s decision came after Vertiv itself announced on April 1, 2019, that it was ending support for the MergePoint EMS firmware platform.
