Popis: The driver linac for Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will accelerate all stable ion beams from proton to uranium beyond 200 MeV/u with beam powers up to 400 kW. The linac now consists of 10⁴ superconducting quarter-wave resonators (QWR), which is the world largest number of low-beta SRF cavities operating at an accelerator facility. The first 3 QWR cryomodules (CM) (β = 0.041) were successfully integrated with cryogenics and other support systems for the 2nd Accelerator Readiness Review (ARR). The 3rd ARR scope that includes 11 QWR CM (β=0.085) and 1 QWR matching CM (β=0.085) was commissioned on schedule by January 2019, and then we met the Key Performance Parameters (KPP), accelerating Ar and Kr > 16 MeV/u at this stage, in a week upon the ARR authorization. We examine a variety of key factors to the successful commissioning, such as component testing prior to system integration, assessment steps of system/device readiness, and phased commissioning. This paper also reports on the integration process of the β=0.085 CMs including the test results, and the current progress on β=0.29 and 0.53 CMs in preparation for the upcoming 4th ARR.
