One thing you don't want to do is to connect a UPS to another UPS.  They do 
*NOT* like to be chained like that.  I've worked at several places where they 
absolutely forbade any kind of in-rack UPS for equipment because there was a 
UPS system for the whole room, and they didn't want to risk frying everything 
in the room because of a single stupid in-rack UPS.
