I just configured caching server on a Mac Mini and was wondering if there's anything I need to do in Jamf to have the devices look to the new server for updates.

Machines will pickup the local caching server by them self. Nothing needs to be done in Jamf.

If you have a single external IP address / WAN connection the setup is pretty simple.
Your internal clients will start seeing the cache server over time. You can run the following to give you IP of the cache server the client sees:
/usr/bin/AssetCacheLocatorUtil 2>&1 | grep guid | awk '{print$4}' | sed 's/^(.*):.*$/1/' | uniq
