General "best practise" (at least in my dayjob of IT, and I usually see it followed in pro audio and video) is that when filling equipment racks the heaviest equipment goes on the bottom for stability, safety, and to prevent cheap racks from deforming.

As UPS' are pretty much straight lead (and a bit of iron and electrolyte) they're almost always the heaviest items in any rack.

Example from HP
