You can not disable it because it is integrated, if it was part of the PO or not Boeing has all the data. Redundant avionics systems, everything has three subsystems that the pilot can enable and switch out non conforming black box. High performance aircraft have a device failure on average every 21 hours. Swapping out 1 black box computer of 3 or any other necessary system black box is routine. Communications, radar, and everything has a backup for many years now.
