You would actually use the hostname of the server rather than it's IP address.

The purpose of a MX record is to indicate which server should handle the mail for a particular domain. Note, by setting another server to handle mail for a domain, you lose all cPanel integration with the mail functionality for that domain (e.g. forwarders, create email accounts etc.).

If you make a mistake with a MX record, it's no big deal. You can always remove or edit your custom MX record at any time in the future via cPanel.
