1. This is the default.
2. Set the "Shutdown mode" to "Standby" in the jumper settings of the PSUmoni software.
3. (Normally) set the DMT (Dead Men Timer) to 24 hours, to cut the Power. You have configure the Safe-Sleep mode on the Mac mini. This can be done with the Preference Panel "Hibernate".

I have a couple of questions, actually more than a couple.
1. Do I need to downgrade the firmware of P2140
2. Can you tell me the exact jumper settings for the P2140
3. "After 4 hours the power to the PSU will be cutted via an external time relay" What does via an external time relay refer to?

1. This depends, if it works and of the installed version. For me the software version 1.8.x don't work, because I think the Sleep mode ist buggy there.
2. The hardware settings are listed in the post from Machinehead. For the jumper settings in the PSUmoni software I have used the following settings:

But you have to set the Shutdown Mode to "Sleep".
3. I do this via an external time relay because the DMT has bugs in the PSU software < 1.8.x. But if it works for you with the installed software version, there is no need to downgrade the software or use an external time relay.

I have a second reason for using the older software: The option "Secondary output" follows "Primary output" doesn't exist anymore in the newer software versions.
