The best way is to run your rack off the inverter 24/7 so it is always on
battery.
No glitches that way.
If you are worried about the inverter kicking the bucket, put an ac/ac
transfer switch on the output that will switch the loads to mains in the
event of an inverter failure. A solid state relay would switch within one
cycle. Most things will stay up for that short of time.

Will something like this work to run my rack until the generator kicks in?

I know Cotek makes a 1U sinewave inverter with automatic transfer switch,
you would need a separate battery charger. I had trouble with the Cotek
units though, the transfer switch will stay on line power if the voltage
is low, plus I think I had a fan fail. Generally, everything is less
reliable when crammed into a 1U size.

This site has a generator already. Is there something I can have wired
into the electrical panel to act as a UPS for certain outlets tell the
generator starts?

Never seen one. I suppose you could hack it but those things are
12VDC internally (composed of two flat 6V AGM cells) , so you'll be
spending a lot of money on 0 or 2 gauge copper across the room to
avoid significant voltage drop if you're putting batteries remote from
where the UPS is.

Anyone know of a 1u rack mount UPS that uses external batteries?
Thinking of running cord across room instead. I have limited rack
space.
