Using Smart Cards
Your computer has a 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 and open the protective cover.
2. Slide the smart card, with its label and embedded computer chip facing up into
the slot.
3. Close the cover.
To remove a smart card:
1. Open the cover.
2. Make sure that the third-party smart card software is not accessing the smart
card.
3. Pull the card out of the slot.
4. Close the cover.
