Replacing HDD with SSD

Hello, probably a stupid question, as i have searched the forums and cant find where anybody else asked this. I have an HP Z800. I have been running windows 7 pro for over a year with 1TB HDD. I want to replace it with a Crucial 500GB SSD. My plan was to just plug it in and do a clean install of windows. I have done a clean install before and it was pretty self explanatory. I came across something on another site asking about having to change BIOS settings in order for the motherboard to recognize the new SSD. My question is this, Is there anything extra that I have to do before plugging new SSD in and installing windows. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. *Sorry if this has been addressed somewhere already, but I couldn't find it*
