I'm not sure why exactly. I think the OPUS needs at least 10 seconds of haveing power going to it (one flash of the LED) before the remote line will turn it on. In other words, you cannot just have all wires connected (ground, 12v, remote) and expect the PC to boot just by switching the PSU on and off - You have to wait, then apply the remote feed.
