The doepfer 5v adapter draws from the 12v rail so no cable. You may need to add a cable between bus boards if you want 5v to be on all bus boards. Personally I don't, I just have the few modules I own that require 5v running from the same bus board.

Before installing the fuse, did you get slow blow fuses If not then they won't last long at all, in fact will probably blow as soon as you provide power. The current draw is important, but it shouldn't fry if you overload it-that's one of the things the fuse is for. Also consider the current draw values to be an approximation, not absolute. If your total using is above about 580 I would assume you are
