Is this value a field in a record, and you want all nested "rack"-s from all records?

Try this:

SQL

DECLARE @iDoc INT /* Stores a pointer to the XML document */
DECLARE @foo as xml
set @foo=N'<workorders>
  <workorder>
    <rackset>
      <rack>SN1</rack>
      <rack>SN2</rack>
      <rack>SN3</rack>
      <rack>SN4</rack>
    </rackset>
  </workorder>
</workorders>'


EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @iDoc OUTPUT, @foo

SELECT Racks.value('(Rack)[1]','nvarchar(30)') as Rack1,
Racks.value('(Rack)[2]','nvarchar(30)') as Rack2,
Racks.value('(Rack)[3]','nvarchar(30)') as Rack3,
Racks.value('(Rack)[4]','nvarchar(30)') as Rack4
FROM @foo.nodes('*/*/*') as foo(Racks)

EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @iDoc
