I've got four machines fed by an UPS.  Within 48 hours of being switched
to UPS power, someone working on an adjacent rack accidentally kicked loose
the power cord on the output side of the UPS :-(

You're also not protected against power supply failures and failures on
the output side of the UPS (blow fuse, etc.).
