I just replaced the 5400 rpm with a 7200 rpm yesterday...

Yes - you have to remove the 4 star patterned bolts (2 on each side) from the old hard drive - these will match holes on the new drive.

I don't have it with me - but it is a very small driver that you'll need to use (maybe a 00)? Luckily I had a set that came with a larger "toolbox" purchase of screwdrivers, etc or else I wouldn't have been able to remove them either.
