How to connect a GS748TP to a existing network with GS724TP

Hi Experts,

One of my customer is using a GS724TP as their core network switch (with only one VLAN).  I'm not familiar with network switches at all and they want to add another GS748TP to their existing network.  So my question is how should i do the config to put these two together and using the same VLAN?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Aaron.  That's a relieve.
Not sure if i should open another thread for this .. .but what if they want to add additional VLAN?
Is it possible?
If you want to add vlans, you basically need to choose if they exit the switch tagged or untagged. Always exit tagged to another switch, add the same vlans to both switches, and almost always exit untagged to computers. The main exception are esxi, some VoIP phones, and some computers may want tagged packets if their nic and your need will support it.
