It will do that but you can shut off the DHCP server once you finish all your configurations. As Carl mentioned though, it will definitely be happier if it's the DHCP server. Allowing it to do that (if possible) will reduce some issues down the road, including DNS. But you can still let your router or whatever be the DHCP server instead. I've got several clients running it; some are using its DHCP and some are not. While the new wizard-based setup stuff works pretty well for a small business with no other infrastructure, learning how to work with it and around it when necessary (like when you have other servers) takes some learning. It can often be best to set it up in an isolated network that has internet access, then move it to your production location. You need to rerun some wizards but they handle the change gracefully.
