The Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) was upgraded in the second half of 2018 to become a dedicated synchrotron light source, CHESS-U. The upgrade is by far the largest modification to CESR in its 40-year history, replacing one-sixth of the storage ring with six new double-bend achromats, increasing beam energy from 5.3 GeV to 6.0 GeV, and switching from two counter-rotating beams to a single on-axis positron beam. The new achromats include combined-function dipoles, a first in CESR, and reduce the horizontal emittance by a factor of four. Eight compact narrow-gap undulators (4.6mm vacuum chamber aperture) and one high-energy 24-pole wiggler feed a total of six new and five existing x-ray end stations from a single positron beam. Commissioning of CHESS-U took place in the first half of 2019. We report on the methods and results of beam commissioning, including initial beam accumulation, optics correction, characterization, and commissioning of compact permanent-magnet insertion devices.
