Default UPS server wiring no-no

I spent a frantic ten minutes in the early hours of last night
scrabbling around in the dark with wire cutters and a fading torch
trying to patch in a LCD monitor and KVM switch to UPS power, the normal
mains supply for them having previously failed due to a midnight team
digging up the road outside. Happily I managed to do a proper shutdown
of the protected servers before the UPS battery (and my torch) gave out.

If ye are ever enagaged in wiring up a server rack cabinet, can ye

a) Connect these low wattage items permanently to the UPS output, or...
b) Put them on an obvious extension block and compatible inter-connector
so they can be quickly unplugged and swapped from dead mains supply to
UPS output?

I was pretty lucky to find random IEC leads and a spare 13A extension
block in a cardboard box next to the rack. And a tool box...

Phew....
