Some of my kit
stays plugged in even when it's powered off.
This tends to be stuff I'm pretty confident in, like the PDP-11.
I always pull the plugs on my PDP-11s, because the small
transformer in the power controller is always connected.
You could also just flip off the breaker on the power controller, which
disconnects everything* in the PCU from the mains. Almost everything I keep
plugged in 24x7 (short of light fixtures and one or two unimportant peecees)
is also on a UPS.
* Except for the EMI filter, inlet power cable, plug from the wall, etc. :)
