Morphology
The meaning 'a server used exclusively for storing/serving files' is directly and compositionally derived from 'dedicated' (devoted or reserved for one purpose) modifying 'file server' ('file' + 'server'). This adjective+noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Dedicated file server paints a simple picture: dedicated means set aside for one purpose and a file server is a computer that holds and shares files. So a dedicated file server is a machine kept 'only' to store and give access to files.
