APM Short for Advanced Power Management. A feature from Intel and Microsoft for battery-powered computers, which powers-down or the display when the computer has been inactive for a certain length of time in order to conserve power. Monitors with this energy-saving capability are called "green monitors". APM allowed the OS to do user-friendly things like having battery-remaining information displayed in the user interface, and allowed the OS to control some aspects of power management, such as requesting that the system enter a suspend state. Other APM functions, such as screen blanking, continued to be handled solely by the firmware, and in all cases, the firmware performed the actual hardware-specific mechanisms by which the system entered suspend.
