176 The computer was tampered with. This indicates that the cover
has been removed and the chassis-intrusion detector has not been
cleared by entering the administrator password. Note that
chassis-intrusion can be detected only if the chassis-intrusion
detector feature is activated, which occurs when enhanced security
is enabled and an administrator password is set.
Action: To reset the chassis-intrusion detector, you must enter the
administrator password.
186 Security hardware control logic error. The security data could
either not be read or written and the administrator password and
startup sequence are not reliable.
Action:
If your computer is in enhanced security mode, the
startup process will not continue. The system board must be
replaced.
187 A problem occurred with the administrator password and startup
(boot) sequence.
Action: If enhanced security is not enabled, use the

“Deleting an Administrator Password” on page 46.

and Changing an Administrator Password” on page 45.
