Sounds like one of those surge protectors that control the power to other devices based on whether or not a central device is powered on. Some powerbars for home theater setups have a similar feature; if you turn off the TV, all the other stuff turns off with it, and if you turn on the TV, everything turns back on.

Weird that a rackmount UPS would have that sort of feature, but hey, it's possible.

I have a rackmount UPS that was expressly intended for AV purposes that does that.
