Zero stack headset, alloy fork installation question

I just pulled the trigger on this...



I am going to be out of town with a limited amount of tools and I want to anticipate any assembly issues that may arise.

I am curious about the headset installation process; mainly the absence of a star nut or it being replaced by something else?

And lastly, will I need to "press" any parts from the zero stack headset in like a normal headset, or will it sit in place without any force needed?
