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, some 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 personal identification number (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.
Inserting a smart card
1. Hold the card label-side up, and 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.
