Index Function 
1  Mounting Bracket: Rack mounting ears are available for installation into standard 19- and 23-inch racks. 
2  Panel Screw: These two screws are used to mount the front panel to the 1042 housing. 
3  Power Indicator: This green indicator ligh ts whe n the 1042 power shelf has 110 VAC applied to it and operation is normal. 
4  Power Supply:  Power supplies PS A and PS B are inserted into these two opening. 
5  ACO: This yellow LED lights if the Alarm Cutof f switch is placed in the upper ON position, ind ic ating that the alarm relay contac ts 
are disabled.
6  Alarm: This red LED lights if any fuse opens or if one of the two power supplies fails (this is cleared by removing the supply). 
7  Alarm Cutoff: This switch controls the alarm relay con tacts. If it is placed in the upper ON position, the alarm relay circuitry i s

Installation 
The Verilink 1042 Dual Power Supply Shel f is designed to hold either one or two power supplies conforming to industry-standard Type-400 mechanics 
(such as the Verilink model number 9 -1000 -4 8V-
2). The shelf provides wiring from the power supply 
connectors to an AC power input. Fused DC output 
terminals are located on the rear of the shelf. 
Rack mounting brackets are available for installation 
into standard 19 - and 23 -inc h racks. To install the 
brackets onto the 104 2, use the two tapped screw 
holes on each side of the 104 2. To install the 1042 
into a rack, in sert two screws through b oth the left 
and right mounting brackets. 
The 1042 shelf has two slots accessible from the 
front in which the power supplies are inserted. To install the power supplies, first remove t he front panel 
by removing the two screws. Then insert each supply 
through one of the t wo slots until t he card is firmly 
seated to the rear con nector. 
AC power is applied to the unit by inserting the power cord into a 110 V outlet. DC power is the n obtained from the unit by c onnec tion to the r ear-panel 
terminal strips. 
WARNING: Use caution when installing or 
removing the power supplies. 110 volts AC is 
present on the inside rear circuitry. 
When installing a power supply with A C po wer connected, the A LARM LED ligh ts for about ten s econds while the unit stabilizes (undergoes a soft start). 
The green power indicator then lights if the unit is 
operating normally. 
WARNING: When replacing one of the 
power supplies while in service, wait at least 
10 minutes after rem oving the supply before 
replacing the new one. This prevents contact 
arcing of the edge connector.
