I could of course be wrong about that and please correct me if I am. It would seem to make sense that only a 'live' machine would be affected though.
I would think that currents induced on a circuit board from EMP *could* fry some of the chips. The possibility is there. No different than static can mess up a board you are trying to install.
If the pulse is strong enough. But relatively small radiation can fry an active device (because its electronic properties vary under radiation), and do nothing to an inactive one.
