As long as you are only going to run your server as a local server then you will be fine, just connect one of the NIC?s to the Switch as though it was any other computer. The router should be left as the main DNS controller and everything should work without incident.

Actions you will need to take will include setting up each user with an account, setting up any groups and access rights. Also you will probably want to edit the logon scripts, set up shared folders and copy over any files that you want to be accessed over the network.
