3850 - link light on but no cable connected

I just completed installation of a stacked pair of 3850s in my datacenter.  While I was installing them, I noticed that the lights on ports 1-8 on one of the switches were on solid even though there were no cables connected to that switch.  I don't see anything in the logs or anywhere else in the CLI that indicate a problem, however the lights remain on.  This only happens on switch 1, not switch 2.  Once I plugged the cable into port 1, it flashes normally with activity, but 2-8 remain on solid even though nothing is connected to them.

Before I put the switches in place, I had configured them at my desk with the console connection, and those lights were not lit up.

The indicators on the front of both switches are set in STAT mode.  I thought initially I had hit the button and flipped it to a different mode, but that is not the case.  Has anyone seen this behavior before?
