The Z97-A board doesn't support NVMe at all. It uses a slot-based physical design, not the newer protocols. An NVMe drive won't fit. (It seems unlikely it would affect the initialization process.) For storage options, you'd need a standard SATA M.2 or an NVMe PCIe card—avoiding the risk of POST issues.

I attempted to start without the SSD... one time only the CPU fan turned on, but no improvement.

I checked the instructions and followed the steps from section 1.6. There’s no need to remove the battery.

Considering another perspective, power problems might not be resolved by simply clearing the CMOS and checking the pins. The presence of a motherboard light suggests an issue beyond just the CMOS connection. Verify the integrity of the cables linking the motherboard to the CPU—ensure they are properly seated. Don’t overlook the 24-pin or 4/8-pin CPU cable, and explore the possibility of using a CMOS battery backup.

Yes, the memok should function without a CPU since it's designed for use before posting.
