I agree with Ben - asking questions will help a ton. And not just tactical/technical problem solving... Ask if there's internal documentation, an internal wiki, ask where folks recommend you start, ask for recommended reading, etc

Beyond that may depend some on your internship. Are you coming in to work on a particular project? If so, do you understand what that project is and what you're going to need to do to tackle it?

If not, it's worth talking with your manager/lead/senior buddy/whoever has been labeled as your go-to person (and if you don't have one of these, ask for one!) about what you should be aiming to accomplish during your internship.
