    contactless - you just tap it
    above the harddrive -you just insert it with the contacts facing upward

    haven't used it... i think it needs a 3rd party software for your specific smart card

    You need to configure it... somehow. I think it has to do with the ControlPoint manager(s). I read somewhere here that it might also only work with specific smart cards, but I can't find that post at the moment.

    At any rate, if you don't know how to set it up, you probably don't need it? I've never used mine, and I don't care to use it; I didn't even know it existed on my old D830.
