The FRIB driver linac accelerates CW beams of all stable ions up to uranium to the energy of 200 MeV/u with the beam power of 400 kW. We plan to start staged beam commissioning in December 2017 in parallel with ongoing installation activities. This allows early recognition of technical issues, which is essential for smooth commissioning and early completion of commissioning goals. As the interlaced nature of commissioning and installation poses both scheduling challenges and special safety issues, it is essential to develop a commissioning plan with focused consideration of each. In this paper, we present a commissioning plan with emphasis on its characteristic features.
