About Smart Cards
To use smart cards, you need to either use smart card software or, in a server environment, enable Microsoft®Windows®PKI support. Smart cards are small
portable credit-card shaped devices with internal integrated circuits. The top surface of the smart card usually contains an embedded microprocessor located
under the gold contact pad. The combination of the small size and integrated circuits make smart cards valuable tools for security, data storage, and special
programs. Using smart cards can improve system security by combining something a user has (the smart card) with something only the user should know (a
PIN) to provide more secure user-authentication than passwords alone.
Installing a Smart Card
You can install a smart card in the computer while the computer is running. The computer automatically detects the card.
To install a smart card:
1. Remove the smart card blank from the smart card slot.
2. Hold the card face up with the gold contact pad on the top surface and pointing toward the smart card slot.
3. Slide the smart card into the smart card slot until the card is completely seated in its connector. The smart card will protrude approximately 1.27 cm (0.5
inch) from the slot. The smart card slot is located below the PC Card slot.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
CAUTION: Before performing any of the following procedures computer, read and follow the safety instructions in your Product Information
Guide.
