He was right. I switched around cables on the hot-swap backplane, figuring that I would determine whether I had a bad cable or a bad backplane ( hoping for a bad cable ) and the problem went away. One of the cables wasn't seated properly apparently. ( It was a tight 1U box with very aggressive twist-ties that I had to cut to switch them around, so this wasn't immediately obvious. I would make sure that all cables are seated properly, and try a different cable if the problem persists.
