The table below is on the Advanced Features Documentation page.
Power Management
AC Recovery
(Off default)
Determines how the system responds when AC power is re-applied after a power loss. Off commands the system to stay off when the power is re-applied. You must press the front-panel power button before the system turns on. On commands the system to turn on when the power is re-applied. Last commands the system to return to the last power state the system was in just before it was turned off.
Auto Power On
(Off default)
Sets the computer to automatically turn on. Off disables this feature. Everyday turns the computer on every day at the time set in Auto Power Time. Weekdays turns the computer on every day from Monday through Friday at the time set in Auto Power Time.
NOTE: This feature does not work if you turn off your computer using the switch on a power strip or surge protector.
Auto Power Time
Sets time to automatically turn on the computer.
Time is kept in the standard 12-hour format (hours:minutes). Change the startup time by pressing the right- or left-arrow key to increase or decrease the numbers, or type numbers in both the date and time fields.
Low Power Mode
(Off default)
When Low Power Mode is selected, remote wakeup events will no longer power up the computer from Hibernate or Off via the onboard network controller.
Remote Wake-Up
(Off default)
This option allows the system to power up when a network interface controller or remote wakeup-capable modem receives a wake up signal.
On is the default setting. On w/ Boot to NIC will allow the computer to attempt to boot from a network prior to using the boot sequence.
NOTE: Normally, the system can be powered up remotely from suspend mode, hibernate mode, or when powered off. When Low Power Mode (in the Power Management menu) is enabled, the system can only be powered up remotely from Suspend.
Suspend Mode
(S3 default)
Sets the computer's suspend mode. The options are S1, a suspend state in which the computer is running in a low-power mode, and S3, a suspend state in which the power is reduced or turned off for many components, however, system memory remains active.
Maintenance
Service Tag
Displays the service tag for your computer.
SERR Message
(On default)
Some graphics cards require that the SERR message be disabled.
Event Log
Allows you to view the Event Log. Entries are marked R for Read and U for Unread. Mark All Entries Read puts an R to the left of all the entries. Clear Log clears the Event Log.
ASF Mode
Allows you to turn ASF pre-boot messaging on and off. Options are Off, On, Alert Only.
Thats where is should be but its not, I've looked through all the setting just in case and as I said before the suspend mode is missing from the BIOS menu. Check the screen shots below to validate my point.
<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per Privacy policy>
Yep, only 10 or so various updates of the BIOS for the machine and not looking to load each one to find or not find the missing componant, im sure someone has some of the older ones to tell me one way or another.

What is the status of Low Power Mode, ASF mode and Remote Wake Up?
When Low Power Mode (in the Power Management menu) is enabled, the system can only be powered up remotely from Suspend.

I don't write bios and do not design computers for dell. So your post subject may be correct that a feature was removed.
What you have to find out is why and or if there will be an update to fix this issue.
