Page 4: Overview Of The Setup Procedure
Overview of the Setup Procedure Windows NT requires that an NT administrator set up the Smart Card Security System on an OmniBook. For a Windows 95/98 system, setup can be performed by the user. To ensure the setup procedure is successful, the following steps must be completed in order: 1. - Page 5 If it is not, use Windows Explorer to browse the CD contents and double-click the file setup.exe in the root directory to run the installation. 3. Click “Install HP Encryption Smart Card Security System” to start the setup. 4. When the installation process asks you to install the PCMCIA card reader, make sure the label is facing up.
- Page 6 Step 2: Initialize a smart card (Windows NT) For Windows 95/98, go to “Step 3” on page 8. A smart card can be initialized only after the software has been installed and your OmniBook has been restarted (Step 1). 1. For Windows NT, if you have just installed the software and your OmniBook has been restarted, you will be asked to insert an uninitialized smart card into the card reader.
- Page 7 1. Log on to your OmniBook using your smart card. 2. Click Start, Programs, HP Security System, Smart Card Security Manager to run the Smart Card Security Manager. 3. For Windows NT, click the NT Logon tab, then click Options.
- Page 8 BIOS to support BIOS security features. To determine your BIOS version, reboot the computer and press F2 when you see the HP logo—the first screen of BIOS Setup shows the BIOS version. Skip these steps if your BIOS is a Smart Card BIOS or if none is available for your model.
- Page 9 5. Click Enable to create the BIOS Administrator card. Note For ease of use, HP recommends that you do not enable the option requiring the PIN at boot.

- Page 11 Step 6: Make a recovery file Note HP strongly recommends you make a new encrypted recovery file of your smart card data now and also whenever you change a smart card password. This recovery file will allow you to recreate your smart card (and, more importantly, access your computer) if the card is lost, stolen, or damaged.
- Page 12 Using Your Smart Card When properly set up, the HP Smart Card Security System ensures only users with your smart card and the correct PIN (personal identification number) can use your OmniBook. See page 15 for setup options. Starting or Logging On To Your OmniBook To start or log on to your OmniBook, insert your smart card into the reader and enter your PIN if prompted.
- Page 13 Note Do not leave the OmniBook unattended in MS-DOS mode. The Smart Card Security System is inactive in this mode. If you don’t have a Smart Card BIOS, the normal BIOS password provides security. Using the Secure Folder By default, your Secure folder is located in C:\Private. After you have inserted your smart card and correctly entered your PIN, you can create directories and files within the Secure folder in exactly the same way as outside the Secure folder.
- Page 14 Backing up secure files It is a good idea to back up files in your Secure folder just like you do all your other files. However, you should back up your Secure folder and all its contents separate from your unsecure files, then keep the decrypted backup files in a secure place.
