EZ2 is a proprietary firmware update container developed by Emulex Corporation, which is currently a subsidiary of Broadcom. System administrators utilize these files to update BIOS, firmware, and boot code on Emulex host bus adapters and converged network adapters. As a specialized binary format for hardware maintenance, it requires vendor-specific management utilities for deployment and is considered a low-risk format when obtained directly from official manufacturer sources.
