Identify a hardware feature on the rear side of the case of a Dell Precision workstation

I recently bought a Dell Precision 3630 Tower. On the rear side of the case, I see 2 black slidable tabs, with lock and unlock iconography. They appear to do nothing (to me) when I slide them.
Can someone tell me what they are supposed to be for?
ETA:
I found this on Dell's Website, which says that these are "PSU hinge release latch". I still don't know what these are for.
