A method of positioning a rack onto a base structure, the rack comprising a support member for supporting the rack on the base structure, the method comprising:
- affixing a positioning tool to the base structure;
- aligning a guiding opening defined in the support member of the rack with the positioning tool affixed to the base structure;
- lowering the rack onto the base structure such that the guiding opening receives the positioning tool therein as the rack is being lowered onto the base structure;
- and
- sliding the rack relative to the base structure in a longitudinal direction of the rack such that a first end of the guiding opening abuts a corresponding first end of the positioning tool, wherein a first end portion of the guiding opening and a corresponding first end portion of the positioning tool are V-shaped such that abutting the first end of the guiding opening with the corresponding first end of the positioning tool centers the rack relative to the base structure.
