What You Get
When you purchase the Visio SmartShape you get a Visio stencil and a drawing for testing the shapes. There are instructions for "installing" the stencil to your Shapes/Favorites for easy access.
You can also choose between new (Visio 2013+) and older (Visio 2010-) versions of the files.
The "Tester" Visio diagram that is included with the zip file that you download is a convenient place for you to try out the shape and put it through its paces. Ultimately you will copy the stencil (.vss or .vssx) to your My Shapes directory, so that you can easily call it up when you need the rack unit shapes.
