You might want to take a look at the latest version of RM, which is 6.22.

It could be that RM got confused. Similar problems have happened to me
before. In this case, trust the hardware status lights. You can replace
the A1000 NVRAM battery hot. No need to bring the unit down.

Perhaps the fans went into a higher speed mode, and that caused the
monitoring circuit to go wacky or something. If you've seen no problems
since, and the hardware health lights say things are fine, I wouldnt
worry about it.
