What is a special-purpose computer that functions as a component in a larger product?

Do you mean what type of computer is a special purpose computer [...]? I'm not aware of any single term for a computer that functions as a component in a larger system.
Below is some examples of computers which do function as a component in larger systems:
Clustering Operating System is a type of software which allows multiple computers to join together and its software + networking disguises the underlying computers to look like one large computer.
This is useful for scientific computing where all computers will be guaranteed to not shut down, but more resources than is available on one computer is needed to complete the computation.
Fail-Over Load-Balancing Server is another type of computer. It's purpose is to run a process on multiple computers at once. And the one that succeeds first is the one that gets processed. The Load-Balancing part knows what computers to start a process on. This is so if one computer goes down, the software component will still get ran.
This is useful for web-servers which need fault tolerance so if one computer goes down, the software still performs its job.
There are also Industrial Computers which function together, but individually, to produce a single product. Like on conveyer belts in a manufacturing plant.

How do you write product functions in an srs?
Product functionsThis subsection of the SRS should provide a summary of the major functions that the software will perform. For example, an SRS for an accounting programmay use this part to address customer account maintenance, customer statement,and invoice preparation without mentioning the vast amount of detail that eachof those functions requires.Sometimes the function summary that is necessary for this part can be takendirectly from the section of the higher level specification (if one exists)that allocates particular functions to the software product. Note that for thesake of claritya)The functions should be organized in a way that makes the list of functionsunderstandable to the customer or to anyone else reading the document for thefirst time.b)Textual or graphical methods can be used to show the different functionsand their relationships. Such a diagram is not intended to show a design ofa product, but simply shows the logical relationships among variables.
