zenau43hl Here are some tips for running your Beelink mini‑PC as an always‑on home server:
Go into BIOS and enable Auto Power‑on / WOL auto power on, so the machine will boot automatically after power loss recovery.
Place the unit in a well‑ventilated spot, do not seal it inside a closed cabinet. Vertical placement helps heat dissipation.
Keep using the original power adapter. A UPS backup power supply is highly recommended to avoid sudden power‑cut damage to your SSD.
In BIOS, disable sleep / hibernate functions. Set CPU power plan to balanced mode, avoid deep power‑saving sleep states.
Inside your OS, turn off Windows sleep and hibernation completely. Linux is more stable for long‑term server workload if you can switch.
For 24/7 continuous workload, enterprise‑grade SSD is preferred. Consumer‑grade SSD will wear faster under constant write workload for website hosting.
Hope these suggestions help.
