SmartCards are not supplied as standard e quipm ent. You can use all SmartCards that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.
With the ap propriate software yo u can use your SmartCard as an alternative to password protection,
but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.
We recommen d that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards
in a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCard with you.
In order to be able to take advantage of all the security features of your notebook, you
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum protection even if
you lose the SmartCard. I n order to maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard
is disabled if three incorrect attempts are m ade to enter the PIN.
When you use the CardOS SmartCard for the first time, you will either need to enter the
preset PIN "12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.
Inserting the SmartCard

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the SmartC ard reader.
► Slide the Smar
tCard into the SmartCard
reader with th
e chip facing upwards (on
some variants
