Abstract
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. The apparatus includes a verification module that compares the identifier received over the communication bus to a predefined identifier associated with the communication bus. The apparatus includes a notification module that sends a notification in response to the identifier received over the communication bus not matching the predefined identifier associated with the communication bus.
