You can do anything with it the licensing permits. It does not permit
installation as a member server or any 'regular' server status. You can
install it without optional componets, but it won't have be able to have any
security ties to the SBS2008 domain.

You can't even install it without creating a domain for it - it can't be a
workgroup server either. There's really nothing at all you can do with it,
except create another SBS with it.
