Stevenage's reward for sneaking past Guiseley is a home tie in the second round.
Boro needed penalties to defeat the Northern Premier League side on Saturday, after the two sides had drawn 1-1 after extra-time.
Even then though, the Lions almost defeated the League One side, having one shot to win it before Boro came through 5-4.
And Alex Revell's men will need to be infinitely better when they take on fellow League One side Mansfield Town.
The Stags, who Boro beat 1-0 away last month, came through against Curzon Ashton in the first round.
The second round matches will take place between Friday, November 29, and Monday, December 2.
