OptiPlex 3080 - "Manageability" BIOS option (AMT, MEBx) Unavailable

I'm running the newest BIOS today (2.16.0), and this option appears to be unavailable.

Because I can't set it up, I can't configure it, the CTRL-P option to get into MEBx isn't available, and MeshCommander and the like don't list my 3080 as having the capability.  I purchased this specifically to be able to KVM into it.

Every Opti and Precision containing a vPro I've previously purchased has this feature, and it seems like an omission from Dell's part.

Is there some secret way to enable it?  There is a KB article on having to enable an Admin login/pass first, but the 3080 isn't one of the affected machines listed.

    Just to be clear, this is the Optiplex 3080 Micro.  My previous generation 7060 Micro has the capability, enabled, and working great.

    Seeing the same thing looks like it’s not a feature in this model
