and it makes the sound on completion like it activated something, but nothing actually happens. Usually puzzles with multiple solutions has some meaning or used as switches. So what does this puzzle actually activates?

To clarify, I'm aware of the significance of the failing scenario, I'm asking about successful scenario.

Best Answer

After half an hour's research, I assert that it doesn't activate anything. Completing it provides a +1 for your total puzzle count, which makes it obligatory if you want to achieve 100% completion (it's one of the 523 puzzles).

Well, it seems to me the primary value is deliberately failing it, as it activates (changes) nothing at all.
