An apparatus, system, method, and program product for verifying a communication bus connection to a peripheral device are disclosed. The apparatus includes a data module that receives, over a communication bus, an identifier for a location where a peripheral device is installed. The peripheral device is communicatively coupled to an information handling device using the communication bus.
