My build:
MSI Radeon R9 390 8g - video card
ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Ranger LGA 1151 - mobo
Gskill 2x8 gb DDR4 -ram
i5 6600k 6M Skylake - cpu
Cooler master hyper 212 evo - cpu cooler
500 gb ssd
dvd rom
750W corsair power supply. purchased in 2011 TX Series CMPSU - 750 TX. 80 Plus Bronze Certified.

The DVD rom is about 5 years old taken from an older computer. I can't find the brand but it uses the same power and data ports as the mobo accepts and the power source provides.

I believe I have followed the steps in Tom's guild but of course I must be mistaken.

I can turn on the computer both from the mobo and from the power button on the case. The message reads:
"Total Memory: 8192 MB (ddr4 -2133) [I CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE ONE OF THE MEMORY STICKS IN THE BUILD]
0 USB devices found
Detected ATA/ATAPI Devices...
SATA Port1: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500 GB
SATA Port3: ATAPI iHDS118 5 [THIS IS THE DVD ROM]

Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting.
No Keyboard Detected!
When RAID Configuration was build, ensure to set SATA Configuration to RAID Mode.
Press F1 to Run SETUP"

I have removed the RAM and tried each stick in the 4 different slots and get the same messages (b2 99 and red light "boot device led").

I have unplugged and replugged in the power to the mobo.

I have a computer speaker which beeps once when I turn on the power and one more time when it gets to the screen which I wrote out above. If I remember correctly these are the same or similar beeps which occur on other computers I have had but I could be wrong. They are each a short beep as if the mobo is recognizing that there is power.

I saw one post from a couple years ago that suggested updating bios?

I really appreciate any suggestions.

So why don't you do that, and go into the BIOS, the issues you have is that there is no keyboard and the BIOS is asking you to configure the system and likely the boot order. And you haven't installed Windows yet so its not like it will boot.
