**Select the Server Roles for Exchange Server, as you can see, with Exchange Server 2013, there are two roles now only: Mailbox and Client Access Server. Each organization requires at a minimum one Client Access server and one Mailbox server in the Active Directory forest. Additionally, each Active Directory site that contains a Mailbox server must also contain at least one Client Access server. If you're separating your server roles, we recommend installing the Mailbox server role first.
You can select Automatically install Windows Server roles and features that are required to install Exchange Server to have the Setup wizard install required Windows prerequisites. You may need to restart the computer to complete the installation of some Windows features. If you don't select this option, you must install the Windows features manually. (Note: All the required roles and features are already installed in the previous article)
