DL380 Gen 10 VID drive

I have a DL380 Gen 10 which has a VID drive.  This was the first Gen 10's we bought when they first released.  Our other Gen 10's do not have this VID drive..  I need to get rid of this drive as it is causing problems with Ghost (this is a lab environment). 

The BIOS is up to date (March 2019).  I've seen other threads about "downgrading" the BIOS; I'd rather not go that route.

I find it hard to believe that there is no other way to delete this nuisance drive.  Anybody else have this problem and solve it?

Thanks
