Power on the system. As soon as the first logo screen appears, immediately press F2 to enter the BIOS.

Use the Right arrow to highlight Advanced and press Enter.
Use the down arrow to select Disk Sanitizer and press Enter. A popup message will warn you that all data on the drive will be lost when running this feature.
Select the drive you want to erase.
Choose Quick Clean or Full Sanitization then press Enter.
