The 10Gb spec is autonegotiation only. You can limit the speeds a side will 
negotiate with, but there is no "turning it off" completely and nailing a speed 
as one could with older, slower ethernet protocols.

Have you verified that the Cisco switch is free and clear of any configuration 
which may impede natural autonegotiation? It could also be a cable issue; or 
even a card issue - since you have a -AT2 card, try the other socket as well as 
a verified working cat6a cabe (or cat6 if < 30 meters) to see if the situation 
is different.
