You'll need the install discs to partition and format the SSD before you install it. If you don't have them you can buy a retail Snow Leopard disc here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard From there you can upgrade to Yosemite for free as Mountain Lion is no longer available.
