Sumario:I will present the procedures and the results of the commissioning of the CMS Forward Pixel system, that we have recently completed at CERN prior the final installation in CMS. The commissioning was meant to check every mechanical and electrical aspect of the system and to verify that the actual performance of the detector, once assembled and with the same power and readout systems that will be used in the final experiment, was still of the same high quality as during the production phase. The Forward Pixel system presents a negligible number of dead channels, lower than 0.04%, and an average noise of about 100 electrons to be compared with a M.I.P. signal of ~22000 electrons.
