I am working on a project where the owner would like normal and UPS receptacles in the same floorboxes. This is not emergency power as defined in the code (not required by an AHJ), just UPS receptacles served from a central UPS system, which will provide power to desktop computers. Is there anything in the code that would not allow this (two different sources in the same raceway or box)? The UPS wiring will be identified by a label on the wires and receptacles.

Thanks for any help.

I would read the installation manual first.
Some manufacturers do not allow it.
 
This is a design issue not a code issue. I would get the answer from the system designer. Mixing them together could be very costly if someone specified separation between the two systems.
