Penguin II A/C Installation - Wiring

I'm replacing the 2nd zone AC unit on my 07 Newmar Mountian Aire.
I took off the Duo-Therm 630516.331 and am replacing it with a Penguin 651816HXX1C0-01 unit. I've confirmed this is the correct replacement for the original unit. I have a 5 button thermostat so I replaced the new Penguin circuit board with a conversion board.
The new Penguin unit has a six wire connector with a black, red, two yellow and two blue wires. Neither old AC or the RV have these wires. The only wires the RV has are the black/white/ground 110 wires, a thermostat sensor wire and two data cables.
Do I need to have the six wires connected for the unit to blow cold air?
Thank you!

The black/white/green are incoming 120VAC power and go to a junction box inside the unit.

Was working with a guy yesterday on a similar situation - the 6 wire plug has 3 basic uses -

2 yellow - noted as “Load shed”
2 blue - noted as “Furnace”
Red - noted as “+12v”
Black - noted as “-12v”

All the above are optional add-on devices that the coach builder may or may not have used. If they are not there, then all will be good and the unit will work.

Thank you Mark. Your explanation makes sense. My furnace operates off Zones 1 & 3. Zone 2 never had any furnace control.
So it appears none of the six are required for the cooling and heat pump functions on the unit itself?

Is there any kind of conversion needed for the six wires or do I just let them remain in place?

One of my replacement units had the same plug. I used the wiring from my old unit and tossed this harness in la basura.

Was a pretty easy job because the wires were all the same colors.
