Smart Card Reader
A dedicated Smart Card Reader is provided on your notebook. Smart Cards are the same size and shape
as credit cards, but they contain an integrated microprocessor chip. The chip can hold a variety of
information, and provides you with many possible options, such as allowing you to make secure
purchases, pay for phone calls, store security information, and provide personal identification and
information.
In order to use the Smart Card Reader, you must purchase optional Smart Card third-party software. The
Smart Card slot is located on the left side of the system (see Figure 29).
