Installing Second Exchange 2013 server

Hey guys

Ok, is there anything I need to know before I install a second Exchange 2013 server in my Domain? The first one is working beautifully but they want redundancy in their email and are willing to pay for it. So they bought the Enterprise version and now I need to install the second Exchange 2013 server and start setting up the DAGs. But before I do that, is there anything I need to be made aware of? I have just finished an upgrade from 2007 to 2013 and have already removed, completely, the old servers. We are now running on a single instance of Exchange 2013 on premise.

if you guys can point me to an article, that would be great too. I have googled the hell out of it and cannot find anything related directly to my question.

Ahh... so its that easy? I haven't setup DAGS yet because I thought I had to have at least 2 exchange servers already up and running. I thought I had to have Enterprise to be able to use DAGS. Sheesh.

While I am here, when I setup the new Exchange server I dont plan on setting up the DAG immediately. Maybe a couple of days from now. That wont cause any issues will it?

Thanks!!
