Help with kitchen cabinet installation

The cabinets in my house have never been updated from the time the house was built in 1988. I live in South Florida and as far as I can tell my house has steel studs. From what I read online, this isn't good for mounting kitchen cabinets on. This is just my extremely novice opinion, but I believe that maybe, that this why the cabinets were originally installed to rest on a board mounted against wall. My plans, however, were to remove the board and install a nice decorative backsplash. I picked up a $50 zircon stud finder, but it's showing me 3 studs across the entire wall. What are my options now? Do I have to keep the board there to mount the new cabinets on?
