Momentary assertion is preferred. While leaving it asserted (grounded)
won't cause any particular issue, it won't allow the K3 to shut down
(haven't tested this entirely).
I use a USB controlled relay, assertion about 100ms to power on the K3,
remotely.

Some experiments with Pin 8 (POWER ON) show that if it is asserted

The Owner's Manual says it should remain asserted (grounded) until a PS0
command is sent before negating.
Has the behavior of Pin 8 been modified in the firmware to make a momentary
assertion sufficient?
BTW, once turned on via Pin 8, and even though Pin 8 remains asserted, a
front panel turn off via the Power button works to shut down the K3. That
reinforces the notion the Pin 8 is really activating the K3 via the leading
edge of the assertion only rather than the level of Pin 8.
Clarification?
