Using Smart Cards (Select Models Only); Inserting A Smart Card - HP EliteBook 2740p User Manual

Using Smart Cards (select models only)

NOTE: The term smart card is used throughout this chapter to refer to both smart cards and Java™
Cards.
A smart card is a credit card–sized accessory that carries a microchip containing memory and a
microprocessor. Like personal computers, smart cards have an operating system to manage input
and output, and they include security features to protect against tampering. Industry-standard smart
cards are used with the smart card reader (select models only).
A PIN is needed to gain access to the contents of the microchip. For more information about smart
card security features, refer to Help and Support.
NOTE: Your computer may look slightly different from the illustrations in this chapter.
