 Before you install the Helm charts, be sure you meet the hardware and software prerequisites. Refer to the [supported configurations](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nv-ingest?tab=readme-ov-file#hardware).
 
-> Starting with version 26.1.0, the [NVIDIA NIM Operator](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim-operator/latest/install.html) is required. All NIM services are now deployed by using NIM Operator CRDs (NIMCache and NIMService), not Helm subcharts.
->
-> **Upgrading from 25.9.0:**
-> 1. Install NIM Operator before upgrading
-> 2. Update your values file with the new configuration keys:
->
-> | 25.9.0 | 26.x |
-> |--------|------|
-> | `nim-vlm-image-captioning.deployed=true` | `nimOperator.nemotron_nano_12b_v2_vl.enabled=true` |
