SmartCard reader
Your workstation also allows operation of a SmartCard via the SmartCard slot. The SmartCard can
be used as a particularly secure alternative or as an addition to password protection. SmartCards
are just as useful for digital signatures or for encrypting e-mails.
You can also read out other cards with your SmartCard reader (e.g. cell phone cards, health
insurance cards, bank cards). For this purpose you also require the software matched to the
respective card.
Fingerprint sensor
Your workstation is equipped with a fingerprint sensor. You can use the fingerprint sensor as an
alternative to the BIOS password as system protection. By the way you can use the fingerprint-
sensor under any operating system.
