	Funding: Presented on behalf of the XFEL Accelerator Consortium. Work supported by the respective funding agencies of the contributing institutes; for details see www.xfel.eu. The main linac of the superconducting accelerator of the European XFEL presently consists of 96 accelerator modules, each housing eight 1.3 GHz TESLA-type cavi-ties, with an average design gradient of 23.6 MV/m. The performance of each individual module has been tested after module assembly in the Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF) at DESY. The 2-year period of module installation to the accelerator tunnel was finished in August 2016. In order to recheck and re-establish the performance of the input power couplers, warm processing of nearly all installed modules was performed before the first cool-down during Dec 2016 / Jan 2017. Four consecutive modules are connected to one 10 MW klystron and form a so-called RF station, which is powered and controlled individually during operation. By June 2017 23 of 25 RF stations have been commissioned for beam acceleration including frequency tuning, various calibrations and LLRF adjustments. A preliminary beam energy of 14 GeV was achieved, which is sufficient for first lasing experiments. No significant performance degradation has been observed so far. The commissioning experience and the available RF performance data will be presented.

	96 accelerating modules with 768 TESLA/European-XFEL type superconducting cavities were installed in the European XFEL LINAC tunnel (XTL) in the fall 2016. Warm conditioning of the RF system - High/Low Level RF System and main input couplers - begun even before finishing the accelerator installation works. All modules were conditioned and tested prior to the installation in the tunnel in the AMTF test stand at DESY. Nevertheless, due to some repair activities on warm input coupler parts, warm conditioning was needed on a few modules/couplers. Cooling down to 2K begun in December 2016 and was finished in January 2017. Since then cold conditioning and tests are running. Several cavities in a few modules did show the multipacting (MP) effects, mostly because a cavity vacuum was filled with a dry nitrogen for before mentioned repairs on couplers in some modules. Said MP effects were seen in AMTF as well. All MP effects were successfully conditioned until now. The warm/cold RF system conditioning and its results/experiences/limits are described and discussed.

96 accelerating modules with 768 TESLA/European-XFEL type superconducting cavities were installed in the European XFEL LINAC tunnel (XTL) in the fall 2016.
