Changing name of SQL Server

I need to change the server name of my SQL Server to one of a current SQl
server that is being decomissioned since the newer server is faster, more
disk space, etc. Do I need to do anything with the named instances on the
server I am renaming, as i want to make sure that System DSN's and such still
work when looking at the renamed server.
Thanks,
