I have a bad Zener Diode on my HV board at ZD900. The schematic shows that it is a 13 volt Zener there. Visually its a black diode with the typical silver stripe at the cathode end. I don't know much about Zeners so I just ordered a 13v Zener from Bob Roberts on his list. When it came I got the tiny glass 13V Zener by mistake. Is it ok to install this? It's still a 13v Diode.
 
Look on the old diode to see if there is any markings. Might just be a sequence of digits, in which case, it may be 1N#####. Try looking up the specs.... sometimes you never know what people put in. I'm not by any of my 6100s w/o a hv cage.... so I can't verify what is in mine right now.
