KPA3 pin question

kevinr@coho.net
I have successfully removed the KPA3 module and find one pin missing.  
On P68A pin # 6 is broken or cut flush with the header. The
corresponding socket opening seems to be filled with a plug. Since I am
not seeing any broken pin in the socket I think this is the way it was
designed.  But as long as I have it open and the problem is power out I
may as well ask what is most probably a silly question.

Any takers?
     73,
         Kevin.  KD5ONS

Never mind.  The schematic says nothing is connected to pin 5 or 6.

Most likely an "indexing" feature to insure proper connector alignment.
