Smart Card
Some models are equipped with a Smart Card slot.
A Smart Card is a credit card sized plastic card. An extremely thin
integrated circuit (IC chip) is embedded into the card on which information
can be recorded. These cards can be used for a wide variety of
applications including telephone related and electronic monetary
payments.
This section contains information on the proper use of the Smart Card slot,
and it is strongly recommended that you read it before operating the
computer.
If the PC card is not inserted all the way, the eject button may not cause it
to pop out sufficiently to allows it to be grasped. Be sure to push the PC
card firmly into the computer and slide the eject button again.
