HSI doesn't need you to anything on the hardware. The firmware will need to be written to startup HSI and select it as the clock source on your clock tree.That said, even when I an working on a design that intends to use HSI, I generally leave the footprint for the crystal on the board, unless it's a highly space constrained board and there simply isn't enough space for it, or if those pins are needed for something else (which has never happened to me on anything larger than a 40 pin MCU)
