Dell D620 Laptop User Manual


 
Smart cards are portable credit card-shaped devices with
internal integrated circuits. The top surface of the smart card
usually contains an embedded processor 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.
Part of the security features on the Latitude™ D620 is a smart
card reader. This thin slot is located just below the PC Card
slot on the system. This reader is part of the security package
that includes TPM 1.2, the biometric reader, and the Wave®
software package. When combined with the BIOS password
features and the Computrace® software, this system offers
much more security than its predecessors.
The picture below demonstrates how to insert and remove a smart card on the Latitude D620.
