That's programmed into the BIOS. Some BIOS have a way to remove it, some don't. Only DELL will know on this one.
Don't bother thinking about Microsoft for this issue.

Hi I know there must be a simple way- my Dell8400 displays the black setup screen at each reboot- says "press F1 to continue or F2 to enter setup"-tried scrolling down to the POST behavior and chose"display neither setup nor etc."-saved changes, exited setup and still-get that stupid screen! It's the little things..Is MSCONFIG the answer?HELP!!
