    Welcome to the Dell Community @goni4ka 

    As you should know there is no option in the BIOS to turn off/Disable the graphics card.

    At least not one that I can see.

    Best regards,

    U2

    F2 during restart to enter UEFI BIOS settings. Video -> Switchable Graphics / Optimus

    Manual

    @goni4ka 

    You should be able to go to "Device Manager" and disable it there???

    Welcome to the Dell Community @pb79 

    I see the M4800 has a similar BIOS as the M4700.

    But the OP has an AMD FirePro not NVidia..

    I did not know by turning off Optimus Technology that it would disable the card also???

    But I guess that you have tested it just to make sure???

    @goni4ka 

    What version BIOS do you have???

    Regards,

    U2

    There is no such thing as Disable Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) slot.

    You have to remove the card.

    Currently I do not have M4700 (it was about year ago) but I switched between Intel and AMD Fire Pro discrete GPU (W10). Please update UEFI first to the latest version.
