Do I need to do anything else after Hybrid install?

I have a 2011(Late) Macbook Pro 17". I just installed a Seagate Monumentous XT Hyrbid drive. Do I need any software to set it up as a "Fusion drive" or should it just use the 8GB NAND without me doing anything?

Note: When I set up the drive I used my usb recovery drive I made before and made on partition using disk utility on recovery mode and then hit "reinstall mountain lion". If that helps.

    If you are using the latest version of Mountain Lion it should see it and start using it as a Fusion drive. A Fusion drive is not the same as a Hybrid drive and you will not have the same performance from the 8GB NAND as you would from the 128GB NAND that Apple's Fusion drives use.
