They must be located in a folder at the root level of the USB drive called “TDM Plug-Ins” and each plug-in you want to install must be in its own folder e.g. TDM Plug-Ins/Fairchild 660.

A
Power button (Config mode only) - Turns rack slot on/off. When off, plug-in consumes no DSP.
In/Out (bypass) button) - Takes rack slot in/out of circuit. When bypassed, plug-in still consumes DSP.
