A USB header on a motherboard is a group of pins ready for specific header connections. They provide the option for additional USB ports to be attached to a computer’s chassis.

Some desktops have as many as six USB ports already built in with room for attaching additional ports via a header cable. The number of headers depends on the motherboard in the computer. To find this out, check the motherboard documentation to find the location of the headers, then open the system to see how they are being used and if there are opportunities to connect additional header cables.
