Grub2 option in a Dell xps 13 9310 with ubuntu 20.04

According to Dell's indications, there must be a partition on my computer with a possibility to diagnose the system through Grub2. But when I do the test with the F12 Grub button it does not appear and it takes me to the BIOS where there is no such option.

I do not know what to do to be able to have that option. Can someone give me some help?

Thanks

On page 58 of the service manual, Dell lists these instructions:

This diagnostic is the new on-board diagnostic tool and replaces the ePSA 3.0 diagnostics. It has a clean and modern user interface, quicker tests, simplified messaging. SupportAssist | On-board Diagnostics can be initiated by one of the following methods:

  • Pressing F12 to enter one-time Boot Menu and selecting Diagnostics to initiate the diagnostics OR Fn+Power
  • BIOS POST detecting a hardware failure or error and initiating the diagnostics

The SupportAssist | On-board Diagnostics is embedded with the BIOS and is launched by the BIOS internally. The embedded system diagnostics provides a set of options for particular devices or device groups allowing you to:

  • Run tests in either Quick Test Mode or Advanced Test Mode
  • Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra information about the failed device(s)
  • Run tests in either Automatic Mode or Interactive Test Mode
  • Run interactive tests on LCD panel and keyboard
  • Display or save test results
  • View status messages that indicate if the tests are completed successfully
  • View error messages that indicate if problems were encountered during the test

NOTE: Some tests for specific devices require user interaction. Ensure that you are present at the computer terminal when the diagnostic tests are performed.

For more information, see SupportAssist Pre-Boot System Performance Check.

This appears to be built into the motherboard, much in the same way Apple has done it for their systems. No partitions to accidentally delete

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
