[K12OSN] New amer.com switch troubles

This happened to us a year ago. We had a 150' cable run to a sr24g2 all 
worked well (1000mb connection) for a few months then I lost connection 
to server. I disconected the server and plugged in a laptop and had 
100mb connection to the switch. I connected the server to another switch 
and and had 1000mb connection. We  moved the server into the same room 
as the switch all was back to normal. We are now back to using fiber 
between all buildings but I think what happened last year was water got 
into the conduit and the 1000mb copper connection needs pristine 
conditions where the 100mb was more forgiving. Just a guess though.

I think maybe the card in the server is configured to put out something wrong. How can I check what it is putting out and how can I change it? I assume it should be putting out 1000meg full duplex. Here is what ethtool says:
