What do you mean by „Away Mode“?  
Are you talking about the option to access your server from outside your home network?

`Settings` \> `[Server Name]` \> `Remote Access`

I’m talking about the option to let the PC go to sleep. I found it last night. I can’t find it today.

You need to restart the server for the change to take affect.

You don’t want to disable that. If you do, chances are that the server will go into hibernation during a longer playback.

That option is causing my systems routine to not work.
