Why would you do that?  I've never seen a UPS fail-off... you may be
misunderstanding the purpose of mltiple power supplies (or perhaps you actually
have them for a different reason than I generally do)  Plugging one into the
wall and one into the UPS means that if one of them goes, you have a 50% chance
that the UPS is no longer protecting your computer.  If you want to protect
against a UPS failing off, you would need to get two UPSs.  Plugging one into
the wall and the other into the UPS is more risky than plugging both into the
same UPS.

People doing that may be why many high-end servers don't use a separate power
cord for multiple power supplies (My Sun Enterprise 450 for example has two or
three power supplies and one power cord)

Disclaimer: What I call high end is not what server manufacturers call high
end.  To me, high end is anything that's probobly overkill for a small to
medium business.
