What are the major W2012 settings for a Dell Power Edge 110 II?

I am a database person who was asked to see why users are getting timeout messages on their workstation when using a client/server application. One of the things I saw was on their server, which is a Dell Power Edge 110 II running W2012 Standard Essentials, was when I checked the power settings there were settings in their to turn off hard drives after 60 minutes and settings to auto negotiate network speeds. I told these folks to check with their IT people and was told they have no IT people. Any suggestions as to what major settings I could check would be appreciated. I do have their service tag so I could take them to the Dell website and download and install the latest drivers.

Disable all power management.

Read the event logs.

Consider the amount of memory installed vs. the magnitude of the application; look at memory use high-water levels.

With W2012 Business Essentials can I delete power plans? I think it would be best to remove all these plans I see. I am not sure which is active.
