A location identification method performed by a computer for managing a plurality of devices, each of the devices mounted on a rack and coupled to any one of a plurality of power outlets, the method comprising:

• executing, by a processor of the computer, power control processing that includes stopping power supply to a first power outlet among the plurality of power outlets,
• executing, by the processor of the computer, determination processing that includes determining whether or not each of the plurality of devices transmits a response to a first packet from the management apparatus to the devices during the power supply to the first power outlet is stopped, and
• executing, by the processor of the computer, recording processing that includes recording identification information of a device from which a response to the first packet is not received, in association with identification information of the first power outlet.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a data transfer program that causes a computer to execute a process, the computer being a computer for managing a plurality of devices, each of the devices mounted on a rack and coupled to any one of a plurality of power outlets, the process comprising:
