Cisco 5915 - are the magnetic/transformer couplers on board?

Hi,

I'm trying to make a breakout board for this router:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/GGSG-Engineering/Cisco_5915/Hardware_Install_Guide/5915hw.html  (The 5915)

The problem lies in that I need to plug in Ethernet cables to this board, but the signals for the Ethernet connections are located on the golden card edge finger thingies.

I'd like to make a custom printed circuit board with RJ45 jacks on it, but some RJ45 jacks have built in transformers for coupling.  I need to figure out if this board has the magnetic couplers on it.

I'm led to believe yes, because I see two components with reference designators labelled T2 and T3 (T is usually used for "transformer"), and the traces look like they are going to the appropriate gold finger thingies for the Ethernet lines.

Anyone have any experience using the Cisco 5915 ESR?

Thanks!
