Strange power supply units alarms!!!

Hi folks,

I encountered this alarms on a solaris server:
Code:
04/21/12 23:17:55 MNP-PGW-A_bge3 mnp 231748 Power Supply Unit 0 is faulty
04/21/12 23:17:55 MNP-PGW-A_bge3 mnp 231748 Power Supply Unit 1 is faulty
04/21/12 23:18:26 MNP-PGW-A_bge3 mnp 231822 Power Supply Unit 0 is faulty:CLEAR
04/21/12 23:18:26 MNP-PGW-A_bge3 mnp 231822 Power Supply Unit 1 is faulty:CLEAR

As i noticed both power supply units are faulty at the same time, but both were back to working condition after a minute later.
Since the server rack is locked all the time, the power cables are connected and bundled properly, it is very unlikely any issues happen on the power connection.
Could it be some issues on the power units?
But how come the fault was cleared?
If the power units are faulty, the fault won't be cleared, am i right?
