6.1 Winbond Smart Manager

The Winbond Smart Manager is a clever utility that helps secure the PC
with a smart card containing a mini-chip insert, like a GSM cell phone SIM
card
. Once a smart card reader is configured, set up the Smart Manager
software utility for “boot up” or “always on” system security.

6.1.1 Setting Up Smart Manager

Connect the smart card reader to the A7V266-EX; (refer to page 41 in
Hardware Setup for the connector location.) Boot up the PC and enter
BIOS (press <del>) to change the configuration to accept smart card
hardware: in the Advanced BIOS menu select the I/O Device Configuration
sub-menu, go to UART2 and select Smart Card Read, save and exit.

Finish booting up. Insert the ASUS Support CD and click on the selection:
Winbond Smart Manager Application. The auto-installer prompts to
install the Base Components and after doing show displays a readme file.
Next, immediately install the Smart Card Driver Library as prompted.
Finally, install the Winbond Smart Manager application as prompted.
