Use the BIOS setup to remove the option and set a BIOS setup password.
Most LoMs get their OROM from the system firmware and attempts to wipe it will likely render the system unbootable. Seting the password I'm my experience is often the only way to remove the option from manual selection. Some systems still allow its manual select but require the BIOS setup password to continue.
