I was scanning this site for pics of overhead panels, as I think it is the heart, or at least the second heart of the aircraft.

I know everything in the pilot's reach, but further up north there is an area filled with buttons, and I do mean buttons, it is a chaos of black buttons, that doesn't have the same look or system as one would hope for when in search of one single button!!!!

It seems as if it's either for deactivation, isolation or checks?!!
here's a picture of the overhead panel of a 744, I totally understand the bottom, but the top of it is totally cryptic.

Those are all breakers for the electrical systems in the aircraft. The Number on each one is the number of amps the breaker is designed for.

Your right of course. You would pull the breaker to deactivate or isolate that section of the electrical system on the aircraft.

Oh btw.....

I should add those little plastic buttons without any marks on them are plugs to fill in unused CB holes. I assume they are for systems that would be installed on a passenger aircraft but not needed for the cargo version of the 747 which this Cargolux aircraft probably is.
