PowerConnect 2724 VLAN Trunking, HELP!

We have 4 PowerConnect 2724 gigabit switches we just recently purchased. I need to be able to implement 2 vlans, but in order to save ports, use vlan trunking. How do you enable trunkig on these switches?

Here is the documentation for the switch: 

<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

 
A VLAN trunk is just a port connecting two switches where the port maybe member of more then one VLAN and will accept only tagged traffic over the trunk between these switches.  Untagged traffic are discarded over the trunk.  Understanding this you can setup the VLAN trunk by properly configuring the port which is to be the trunk between the two switches.
 
For example assume port 1 is the trunk port between two switches.  You want to allow VLAN 10 and 20 between those two switches.  So create VLAN 10 and 20.  Now add VLAN 10 and 20 to port 1 (tagged mode so that packets egressing on port 1 for VLAN 10 and 20 are always sent tagged).  On the port setting page for port 1, setup the port to accept tag packet only and enable ingress filtering.
 
Go to the link above and go to the VLAN membership section to review how to setup VLANs on the 27xx.
