Is not it better to use UPS that will not allow your server to shutdown?) Some servers have ability to boot by timer in BIOS setup. I am not sure your server has it. – user996142 – 2015-05-22T21:51:42.417

My UPS which I use keep only 4 hours ! that's why I think to this – Phenix_dz – 2015-05-22T21:54:40.383

According to the hardware manual you can set the option under the System Security screen in the BIOS settings:

AC Power Recovery (Last default)

Determines how the system reacts when power is restored to the system. If
system is set to Last, the system returns to the last power state. On 
turns on the system after power is restored. When set to Off, the system
remains off after power is restored.
