  • First backup everything.

    I assume the outage is scheduled for longer than the UPS rating is the reason to shut down.

    Find out if any SQL Server Agent Jobs will be affected by the outage.

    You may need to run them manually after restart.

    Personally I shut down the services then the server but this may not be the best way.
