What do you mean about "closing the box"?

I'm not happy with my Exchange 2000 because I install it on a poor
(considering performance) server in order to test it, but we have a lot
of problem. So we buy a new server and we want to install Exchange 2003
on it in order to not have our actuals problems.

I'm sorry with my questions, but my boss give me this work and I don't
knwo anything about Exchange.
