Dell Latitude 7424 Rugged Extreme Service Manual

The Portables Technology has an integrated fingerprint reader located on the palm rest to the right of the touch pad. The fingerprint reader is an option, so not all systems have it. Included with the driver for the fingerprint reader is a software package from Dell ControlVault, that provides functionality for the device. Dell provides all support for the software, same as on the Latitude systems.

Dell ControlVault Software

The software package for the fingerprint reader is ControlVault by Dell. It provides the following functionality to the fingerprint reader:

• Uses the fingerprint reader for Windows logon and system start-up password authentication
• Registers websites and Windows applications for password replacement
• Launches a favorite application with a finger swipe
• Stores confidential information in an encrypted folder

To gain any of this functionality, a user must first enroll fingerprints. An easy-to-follow wizard guides the user through the enrollment process. The user can choose to save fingerprints to the hard drive or the fingerprint reader
