New Server 2012 R2

Question, present network has a 2008 server as Primary DC with an old 2003 server as backup. Just purchased a new 2012 R2 server to replace the 2003 (and run its software) and want to keep the 2008 as primary. How can i configure the 2012 as backup DC....don't want to take the chance of disrupting the network by making the 2012 as the primary and the 08 as the backup. 2008 is just a file server

You shouldn't have to do anything with the 2012 as the 2008 is already the Primary DC (and probably have all of the FSMO roles on it since the 2003 is a backup.)
