Help installing SSD?

[Barso]

I have purchased an OCZ 120GB vertex 3 SSD.
My MB is an asus maximus IV.
Do I just plug the SSD into one of the sata3 ports, enable AHCI and install W7 to the SSD?
What other settings and precautions should I take?
Once W7 is installed, what settings should I use or turn off such as pagefile etc.
I am using a WD 1TB caviar black also for my games.
Thanks.

If the SSD needs a firmware update, how do I do this without having to wipe the SSD?

Thanks for all of the help.
So very much appreciated.
Really looking forward to having my OS on a SSD now.
I have heard games such as arma 2 and world of warcraft are fantastic on a SSD.
I own a. asus maximusIV, should I plug the SSD into the sata6GB intel or marvell controller?
