Using Smart Cards
NOTE: On your computer, the Smart Card reader is a part of the
super multi drive module. If the super multi drive module is
replaced by a secondary battery pack or hard disk drive, you
cannot use the Smart Card reader.
With an embedded microcontroller, smart cards have the unique ability to store large
amounts of data, carry out their own on-card functions (e.g., encryption and mutual
authentication), and interact intelligently with a smart card reader.
To insert a smart card:
1. Locate the smart card slot on the left of the computer and open the cover.
2. Slide the smart card, with its label and embedded computer chip facing up into
the slot.
To remove a smart card:
1. Make sure that the third-party smart card software is not accessing the smart
card.
2. Pull the card out of the slot.
3. Close the cover.
