At least there’s a help text. All my BIOS ever says is:

Enable Intel foobargnarfthingy. Enables the Intel foobargnarfthingy.

I have such a shitty BIOS. It is pain, because the option ought to be there, but the software is so incredibly basic that it exposes virtually no useful settings outside of time and date + boot order.
