Using Smart Cards (select models only)

NOTE:

The term smart card is used throughout this chapter to refer to both smart cards and Java™

Cards.

A smart card is a credit card–sized accessory that carries a microchip containing memory and a
microprocessor. Like personal computers, smart cards have an operating system to manage input
and output, and they include security features to protect against tampering. Industry-standard smart
cards are used with the smart card reader (select models only).

A PIN is needed to gain access to the contents of the microchip. For more information about smart
card security features, refer to Help and Support.

NOTE:

Your computer may look slightly different from the illustrations in this chapter.

Inserting a smart card

To insert a smart card:

1.

Holding the smart card label-side up, gently slide the card into the smart card reader until the
card is seated.

2.

Follow the on-screen instructions for logging on to the computer using the smart card PIN.
