According to:
http://healey.zk3.dec.com/hw_query
The answer is V3.2B.
Talking with the responsible engineer here in UEG, the system will work and
is supported on V3.2B. The hardware group recommends V3.2D. V3.2G is fine
as well.

If you want the best possible performance, you should use a version of
UNIX which is recent enough to correctly identify the system as an
EV56, and versions of compilers/etc that are recent enough to know what
to do with a system that reports itself as ev56.
That is, you need V4.0B and the December SW CD.
Earlier software may leave a few percent of performance on the table.
