No. While the term could mean a type of computer (which contains circuitry), the term server does not mean a computer's circuitry. The term has two interrelated definitions.
For hardware, the term server means a computer providing services to other computers on a network. The computers receiving the service are referred to as 'clients'.
For software, the term server means a piece of software on a computer that provides services to other networked computers. This software may require a a special corresponding 'client' software on the computers receiving the service. In other cases, the normal operating system may provide the necessary client or server software components, such as 'file sharing' and 'printer sharing'.
In short, the term could refer either to the computer providing network services, or to the software installed on it for this purpose.
The link below leads to a list of some general server types. Though the list is intended to be of hardware server types, the list is largely applicable to software servers as well.
