My /700 has this too. I found it to be quite stupid.

Hi,
This box has a little fold down door in the front (below the
half height CD-ROM/tape drive). It is the size of a second
half-height drive bay. But, I'll be damned if I can figure
out why it's there!
Behind the door there is no way that anything *could* be
installed (even if the opening into the chassis was NOT blocked).
Perhaps this cover assembly is used for some other
product(s) which *could* make use of the space behind it?
(obviously, this isn't a material question -- just something
trivial.... why go to the expense of putting something there
that *only* serves as a place to hide the model number, etc.?)
Thanks,
--don
