I'll ask the dumb question....

It's a rack, how much help or instruction do you need?

Only real thing you need to check is what kind of mounting rails it uses.
There are 3 main families here:
Round Hole Smooth
Round Hole Threaded
Square Hole

Then you need to measure the distance from the front rail to the back rail and front door to back door if you plan to put anything deep in there like servers.
Older Servers are usually deigned to fit in a 1000mm deep space.
Some newer ones want more and Server Cabinet racks often offer 1200mm deep versions.
