Two things:
1) If you are planning on cold installing the box, I'd reccomend HP-UX
   11.x (preferably 9910 release) as that's what the tool chains are
   being tested with. 10.20 should work too but you know....

2) iirc, The latest rev of 712 firmware is v2.3.
   Can some other HP person comment on if we can post the upgrade
   tools on the web for 712/715/et al?
   (The risk is someone will blow away their firmware with an image
   for the wrong box and blame HP).
