SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCa rds that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These S martCards are available from various manufacturers.
With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an alternative to pa ssword protection,
but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.
We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the S martCards
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 fe atures of your notebook, y ou
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
The SmartCard ca n only be used with a PIN, offering maximum protection even if
you lose the SmartCard. In order t o maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard
is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the P IN.
When you use the CardOS SmartCard for the first time, you will either need to enter the
preset PIN "123456 78" or the PIN give n to you by your systems administrator.
Inserting the SmartCard
Do not use force when inserting and removing the SmartCard.
Make sure that foreign o bjects do not fall into the SmartCard reader.
► Slide the SmartCard into the SmartCard
reader with the chip facing upwards (on
some variants it faces down) and to the front.
