Siren on Intel motherboard

I have just assembled the following components for a new computer,
Intel mobo D975XBX2
Intel QX6700 CPU
Corsair RAM
Thermalright CPU heatsink with fan with thermal compound
eVGA nVidia graphics (PCIe)
CoolerMaster Stacker chassis
2 x Turbocoll 510 W PSU
HDD, FDD, DVD, sound card

When I urn on the PSUs the power LED on the mobo and sound card light up.

When I hit the on switch there is instantly a continuous, high pitched wail. No display to screen, no power LED. The wail stops as I turn off the PSU to the mobo.

The Intel mobo product guide mentions
Siren - Processor overheat (on reboot)
but I cannot find any reference to this on the Intel support site.

Any and all help will be very much appreciated.

Why do you have two power supplies? You really just need one.

Make sure you correctly installed the heatsink fan, and try one memory stick at a time.

I used 2 PSUs because I was repairing / upgrading another computer so had a 510 W PSU available and the config requires more than 510W.

The fans work fine (chassis and CPU heat sink)

The instructions for the mobo cover installing 2, 3 or 4 memory sticks but not 1.

Hold on here, how exactly did you go about doing dual psu? Did you do a wire mod internally on the psu or did you make a dual relay (master/slave) adapter to connect them?

You were onthe right track Mr. Ferrari. The chassis manufacturer provides a special connector for dual PSU installations and I had forgotten to install it. With that in place, both PSUs turn on and the set up works. I have a clean POST, next stop is OS installation.
