My dual server arrives last week and I play now with Plan9 on it. It
looks really good. I can see both processors and the network cards
work to. I don't have the time to setup it now but I made a quick
setup and drawterm to the box. It works but after some minutes the
server goes down. It simply power off. My first idea was ACPI or some
power saving so I disable all this features on the board. It didn't
help. Maybe the power supply is weak. Is there something in plan9 that
power off my server? Is there a "crashlog" or something?

make sure there is not a dead fan. We had a power supply with a broken 
'auto cooling' setting and it got too hot to touch, so we set it to 'fan 
lo' setting and that fixed it. So check for fans not starting that should 
start.

A CPU with a bad fan will do what you are seeing.
