Note that most of my stuff is not in areas with raised floors, so power 
and data usually need to feed in from the top of the cabinet/relay rack.

Right now, I'm just pulling two pairs of 208V/20A circuits in L6-20 
receptacles above the cabinet where the 6509 will be located.  One pair 
comes off of a generator-backed/line-conditioned emergency power panel and 
the other pair comes off of a UPS output panel.

I do use PDUs smaller gear that will live in the same cabinet and I 
normally feed these from 120V/30A circuit, presented as an L5-30 
receptacle above the cabinet.  I'll pull one of these from an emergency 
power panel and one from a UPS panel and drop a PDU from each into each 
cabinet, so single-powered boxes can be run from either and dual-powered 
boxes can be run from both normal/emergency and UPS power.
