Q: How do I set up an exchange account on my iPad?

Here you can all read about it; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2480

I know that some exchange servers block mobile devices, but I've been using an app called "Outlook Mail Pro" (click here) on my iPad successfully with multiple Exchange accounts for a long time now. Even if your exchange server allows mobile devices, but your primary need is only email - you might want to check it out. I like being able to keep my work-related accounts in a separate app from my personal email.

Is this an Exchange account for you work or school?

If so, you may need to contact your IT department to find out if an how you can use the account with your iPad.
