Hardware changes/modifications from current status
Explanation:
In this case "IST" probably refers to the current system status (as opposed to the "SOLL" status that you want to achieve).

This will therefore be outlining the changes/modificaitons required from to move away from the current "IST" status.

Hardware modifications to IST status

Explanation:
IST ist ein Akronym für 'Initial System Test'. Siehe http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/cgi-bin/acronym?IST

Bin mir nicht 100% sicher, dass es hier so gemeint ist, scheint vom Kontext (Akronyme in den anderen Beispielen) aber zu passen.
