Jean-Francois:
	
 Probably your concern is what if the board bangs on the walls of the metal
box and self destructs. If it is for transporting to another location and
properly packaged, it would be better protected than if in a cardboard box.
If the metal box is where is going to be mounted and it is properly secured,
that is the way most boards are. Either way there should not be a problem.
        Regards,
        Ramon
