Spanish term or phrase: pinchar
From the same installation report.

Durante dicha intervencion a pesar de las pruebas realizadas nos encontramos una serie de problemas con los SCSI ID de las jukeboxes (en las pruebas solo pudimos ***pinchar*** 1 dispositivo SCSI a los entornos, mientras que ahora para produccion hemos de ***pinchar*** 6.

Explanation:
I'm not sure if clicking makes sense in context. It sounds like they only needed to connect one device in test, and now they need to connect six for production, which caused/causes them problems.

I found uses of pinchar where they refer to connecting a device.

plug


Explanation:
The text explains that they had problems with the IDs for the jukeboxes just because in the previous tests they only had one SCSI device plugged (that is one single ID) and in the real production setup there are six devices (which must have different IDs).

agree  AC0: Yes, I agree!!!! :-))))
1 hr
  -> Why be neutral if you agree? I'll go ahead and agree with yours, since they're basically synonyms. We need to raise them up above the clicking.
agree  Tom2004: i prefer "connect"over "plug in" because most of these SCSI are first plugged in but then additionally secured by a couple of screws to complete the "connection"!
2 hrs
  -> Thanks Tom. "plug in", in English, is something I would use while referring to the computer as a whole, or a TV, etc... but a device should be connected, in my opinion.

"pinchar: (informática) click on"

And in addition, it makes sense in this context.

Explanation:
It's talking about SCSI devices, it's about hardware, not software!
So the term "pinchar", as you can see from the use made of it below, is the equivalent of the english "to plug in".

Dispositivos de almacenamiento USB que no se instalan en Vista

Tino me refiere a un problema existente a la hora de ***pinchar*** ciertos dispositivos USB en Windows Vista. El sistema los reconoce como un "USB MASS STORAGE", pero dice no disponer de los drivers para el mismo. La solución que el ha encontrado consiste en forzar que los divers se busquen en la carpeta %systemroot%\system32\driverstore, con lo que la instalación del dispositivo termina correctamente.
