Lenovo specifies this model as a read/write smart-card reader supporting ISO 7816-compatible cards. Lenovo’s documentation lists ISO 7816 Class A, B and C cards operating at 5V, 3V and 1.8V, T=0 and T=1 protocols, with smart-card communication speeds up to 344 Kbps.

Potential applications for this type of reader include computer/network authentication and other systems using compatible contact smart cards. Actual functionality depends on the particular card, middleware and software being used.

Compatibility notice: Lenovo’s original supported software included Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, and Lenovo subsequently included product 41N3040 on its Windows 10-compatible options list. Because these are legacy devices, Windows 11 and any particular CAC/PIV/eID application are not guaranteed. Buyers should verify compatibility with their intended operating system, smart card and authentication software before purchasing.

These are contact smart-card readers, not SD, microSD or ordinary flash-memory card readers.

No smart cards, credentials or third-party smart-card-management software are included.
