I don't imagine that an M10i is too concerned with whether a drive
supports Advanced Power Management. As far as I know, JunOS does not use
either the old APM or new(er) ACPI power management capabilities.

APM was replaced as the standard for power management several years ago
and more and more equipment no longer supports APM.
