+intelmas (Intel Memory And Storage Tool)
+
+The intelmas is a proprietary command-line tool to manage Intel SSDs and
+Optane memory devices. It provides firmware update capability as well as
+reading and setting many configuration settings.
+
+The intelmas unifies functionality of several Intel programs including
+the isdct (Intel SSD Data Center Tool), which was previously available
+on SBo. The intelmas is a drop-in replacement for the isdct.
+
+To work with SATA drives intelmas requires the sg kernel module. To have
+this module loaded on boot, please uncomment the corresponding line in
+/etc/rc.d/rc.modules.local
