IWR6843AOPEVM: Simple questions about getting started

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST

I just got an IWR6843AOPEVM and MMWAVEICBOOST from the E-store last Friday. The EVM board is Rev C. It appears to be ES1.0, based on the "60GHZ" chip marking.

1) Over in the other thread, there was a link to SWRU546B, but that link is dead. I have SWRU546C, and the EVM (Rev F) pictured there looks different, so I suppose it's ES 2.0. Is there a way to get to SWRU546B (again)?

2) I'd like to run it on the MMWAVEICBOOST, but it doesn't fit. My EVM has a black cover (heat sink?) underneath the chip, which interferes with J17. (The photo in the Quick Start insert doesn't have this cover, so of course it fits perfectly.) Should I remove the cover? (It looks like it's on pretty tight.) Should I force it down past J17?
