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.

@U2CAMEB4ME is there any other way to disable this slot without removing card?

Manual
AMD:
NVIDIA:

@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???
What version BIOS do you have???

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.
