I know this thread is 2 years old but I have seen a number of these second user IBM machines recently all with the 184 Asset Control Arial problem.
I wonder how many have been scrapped based on the lousy advice I've seen in other forums.
This problem arises when a piece of hardware is removed from the RFID socket on the board or riser board.
You dont have to Flash the Bios or flush the EEProm down the tiolet.
Enter the Set UP screens go to "device security" and disable the RFID and Asset Control entries.
Exit and save settings. If you have a Formatted system you might choose to look into the startup menu and configure the Boot Device Order. A number of the machines that have come to me are set for network boot.
Thats it you can boot now or run your OS.
Best of luck.
