I tried to provide a complete link, but the web site isn't amenable to that. I found it by selecting the "Drivers & Software" section, entering "X60" as the machine type, selecting "ThinkPad X60 (1709)" and going to the "BIOS" section.

But if Carolyn forcibly disables it in the driver, she can structure that with a whitelist or whatever she thinks is best.
