Hardwear Burn out

Hi there. I have the following question. I have a mikrotik connected to another board with linux running on that and the two are connected via LAN, now is it possible that the mikrotik can burn out the firewire ports on that board and leave everything else intact. (please let me know if that’s not enough information) thank you.

problem unclear. firewire? are you connected to that linux from the routeros device with firewire?
