I don't have an IPC myself, buy I would assume that it's the same as my
Sun 4/110.  I've had good luck using a #1 philips head screw driver.  I
use the next SIMM over as a leverage point and pull them up one side at a
time.  It's crude, but it works.  I haven't broken anything yet and I have
3 Sun 4/110, each with 32 SIMM slots, all filled.
