You cannot put a 3rd party card into an NBU appliance. The FC-SAS bridge would be a separate external piece of hardware you connect the FC cards in the appliance to, and then the SAS tape unit to the SAS ports on it. It would not install any drivers. The HBA drivers are already installed on the appliance if you have a model with FC HBAs in it.
I cannot recommend any specific device since this is not supported by Symantec. I would recommend engagement of a partner to work through the details here or acquisition of tape devices that are natively supported by the appliance, i.e., FC tape drives.
