The CDMS II experiment deployed a set of 6 ZIP (Z-dependent Ionization and Phonon) detectors at the Stanford Underground Facility (SUF) shallow depth site in the fall of 2001. With a payload consisting of 4 Ge (250g ea.) and 2 Si (lOOg ea.) ZIPs, the run demonstrated the simultaneous operability of multiple ZIPs. Excellent discrimination between electron and nuclear recoil events of 99.99%, between 5-100 keV, was established in addition to rejecting over 90% of surface electron recoils, while establishing a recoil threshold down to 5 keV. This presentation will report on the performance of the ZIPs as well as the measured background rates at SUF, their last stop before being deployed at the deep site in Soudan.
