One has to be careful with these headers. There apparently are two
pinouts for them. One is used more often in EU and the other in the US.
So make sure you read the documentation supplied with the motherboard to
assure you connect the right type of cable.
I got caught with this problem while trying to use COM2 (on the
motherboard).

Most of the motherboards I have looked at online recently do have a com
port header on them, but no connector on the backplane. You can likely find
a connector and cable at a computer parts and pieces store. A rotary tool
with a diamond cutting blade can create an opening for mounting a connector.
Mine is mounted just below the power supply.
Another alternative is to add a com port plugin card in an available slot.
