Expanding Your Computer 4-9
Using Smart Cards
The computer has a smart card slot (standard configuration).
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 right of the computer and open the cover.
2. Slide the smart card, with its label and embedded computer chip facing up into
the slot.
3. When a new card is seated, use the third-party smart card software to allow
your computer to read it.
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.
