mac mini 2011 server sleep issue

Hi, i received my first Mac mini server with two 750 GB HDD.

what bothers me most (besides the fan noise) is a sleep issue.

Out of the box, this mini refuses to sleep spontaniously.

Anybody having this too?

Any solutions?

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Great, after installing Mountain Lion another sleep issue occured. This time in the opposit way: my Mac mini server (and other Macs with ML) go to sleep when I don't want them to...

Discovered it today when i started batch converting in handbrake from 10 movies and ML went to sleep after 10 minutes as set in the OS X system preferences.

😠
