About Smart Cards
Smart cards are portable credit-card shaped devices with internal integrated circuits. The top surface of the smart card usually contains an embedded
processor 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. Hold the card so that the gold contact pad is facing upward and pointing toward the smart card slot.
2. 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 (1/2
inch) from the slot. The smart card slot is located beside the PC Card slot.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions located in the Product Information Guide.
