We present first results on the performance of a CCD based silicon vertex detector operated in 1992 in the SLC Large Detector (SLD) at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC). A sample of 11K polarized Z{sup 0} decays have been analyzed. Results on operational experience, alignment techniques, beam and detector backgrounds, and mechanical and thermal stability are presented. In conjunction with the central drift chamber, we present data on tracking and vertexing efficiency, and impact resolution for Z{sup 0} events.
