Hi Ricardo

Ummmh. He is an experienced supporter ;-). I work in support for a large 
businesse application, and sometimes it feels like the two words "ask 
Microsoft" are the most said words in this job...

Do not wire them to the Doepfer PSU at all. They should have there own 
connection to the mains.

Either you add another power connector in the rear panel.

Or
* you add two fuse holders to the rear panel (like 
http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/526245)
* connect the former black cable from the mains connector to these two 
fuseholders.
* connect the other contact of one of the fuse holders to the black 
connector of the Doepfer PSU and the other fuse holder to one of the 
AC-In connectors of the Mean Well PSU.
* connect the former blue cable from the mains connector to the other AC 
connector of both PSUs
* pick the fuse from the fuse holder in the mains socket and put it into 
the new fuse holder for the Doepfer PSU
* place a 0.4A 250V fuse in the new fuse holder for the Mean Well PSU
* put a 6.3A 250V fuse in the original fuse holder in the mains socket.
