After a bit of digging, I foudn that the wall behind the cluster of Thinkpads in the Columbus module is made up of European Drawer Rack modules[0] which are basically 19in racks. NASA has its own International Standard Payload Rack (ISPR) module system[1]. It would be interesting to see some articles on the power and data infrastructure of the station.
