We report our experience commissioning and operating the CDF Run II silicon detector during the first three years of Run II. The performance of the system and its impact on physics analysis is reviewed. As the luminosity delivered by the Tevatron increases, measurable effects of radiation damage have been observed, and the expected lifetime of the detector is discussed.
